Barcelona hires new CFO to tackle financial challenges ahead

Barcelona has appointed Sergio Serrano as their new Chief Financial Officer amid significant economic decisions facing the club. Serrano, previously an executive at Banco Sabadell, will oversee the financial restructuring essential for managing Barcelona's approximately €2 billion debt and securing funding for major projects like Espai Barca and the redevelopment of Spotify Camp Nou. This appointment comes as the club prepares for an Extraordinary Assembly meeting to seek member approval for additional financing necessary for ongoing infrastructure efforts. The club's previous €1.45 billion financial package is already exhausted, increasing the urgency for effective financial management.
