 Barcelona FC reports record revenues
BARCELONA, Spain 17 Jul (ANA) - Revenues at La Liga winner Barcelona hit a record € 914m (£ 809m) in the 2017-18 season, the club has said.
The Spanish football giant also said it was on track to achieve revenues of € 1bn by 2021.
Barcelona received a world record transfer fee of £ 200.6m from Paris St Germain for Brazilian Neymar in 2017.
Since then the Catalan club has twice broken its transfer record on the signings of Ousmane Dembele (£ 96.8m) and Philippe Coutinho (£ 106.4m).
Operating profits at the club were €32m, while the net profit was € 13m.
"The board has valued the final balance of the year positively, and it's in line with the strategic plan of the club to reach €1,000m of income in 2021," the club said.
As well as reclaiming the La Liga title from rivals Real Madrid during 2017-18, the club also won the Copa del Rey for a fourth successive season.
But they were knocked out of the Champions League by Italy's Roma at the quarter-final stage.(ANA)
