Messi waves to PSG fans
Barcelona lost a huge amount of money after letting Messi leave
As you know, Messi has said goodbye to Barcelona and is preparing to move to PSG.
In particular, in addition to professional problems, Barcelona also has to face huge financial losses in the process of rebuilding the team in the `post-Messi` era.
Barcelona will lose a huge amount of money after parting ways with Messi.
Specifically, according to financial analysis company Brand Finance, Barcelona’s brand value will decrease by 11% after Messi leaves.
Previously, Barcelona’s brand value (announced according to the Brand Finance Football top 50 2021 report) was 1.266 billion euros, only 10 million euros less than the leading team Real Madrid (1.276 billion euros).
However, at this point, Barcelona has dropped to third place, behind Man Utd.
It should be added that that is just Barcelona’s valuation at this time (when Messi first left).
Sharing with the press, Director of Brand Finance in Spain, Mr. Teresa de Lemus said: `Messi has become a talisman for Barcelona’s business over the past 15 years. His presence ensures certainty.`
How will Messi’s departure affect Barcelona’s revenue?
Regarding commercial revenue: Messi is always an attractive name for businesses.
Regarding ticket sales: Although Barcelona is a big, traditional team, there is a fact that many people spend money to buy tickets to Nou Camp just to watch Messi play.
Regarding shirt sales revenue: Everyone knows that Messi’s revenue from selling number 10 shirts is the highest in Barcelona.
According to preliminary estimates, Barcelona will lose at least 274 million euros after Messi leaves Camp Nou.
