FC Barcelona has decided to implement a drastic cut in the budget of its basketball section for the next season. It was known that the club would reduce its investment in professional sections, given the delicate economic situation it is going through, but the cut will be much wider than expected.

It should be remembered that the investment in the various sections affects the financial fair play that Barcelona must respect towards LaLiga in order to be able to enroll the players of the first football team.

So far, it was talked about a reduction of between 10 and 15% of the budget. However, unless the club’s new course changes, the final cut will be between 20 and 25 percent. As the last budget of blaugrana basketball was around 44 million euros, the reduction that will have to be implemented by Juan Carlos Navarro, the manager of the section, will be about 8-11 million euros.
