Barcelona still seems to be suffering from financial problems.
Spain's El Goldihtal reported on the 25th (Korea time) 'Barcelona caused anxiety in the locker room by delaying the payment of certain bonuses agreed with the players'
El Goldichtal said 'According to the news, Barcelona promised to pay the bonus by the end of April, but the delay seems to reflect financial tensions within the club. It has also not been announced whether all employees, including some technical and staff, will also be eligible for bonuses'

Barcelona's financial problems are not a recent one. The biggest problem was the renewal of Lionel Messi in 2021. At the time, Chairman Juan Laporta promised that he would be able to renew his contract with Messi, but he failed to keep it. Messi eventually had to leave the team with Barcelona's financial problems, and fans had to watch him head to Paris Saint-Germain.
Since then, Barcelona has suffered from financial problems and has struggled to recruit and sell players. Recently, concerns about Barcelona's finances have grown again due to the renewal of Ramin Yamal's contract.
Some Spanish media outlets reported 'Yamal is expected to sign a major professional contract when he turns 18. A five-year contract is likely, but there has been a caveat recently. Barcelona's accounting problems have caused uncertainty in its contract. Barcelona is accused of including an additional 100 million euros (about 160 billion won) in its account, which was not properly signed. Jorge Mendes, Yamal's agent, said he does not take this situation for granted and is cautious.

In this situation, as news broke that Barcelona had delayed the amount to be paid to the team due to financial problems, concerns again appeared to have grown in the Barcelona squad. If the bonus payment is delayed again, Barcelona's squad is also expected to be more concerned about staying in the club or signing a contract.
Meanwhile, Barcelona had difficulty registering players due to financial problems and also had conflicts with La Liga. Although it was profitable from the sale of VIP seats in the transfer market last winter, it was reported that the La Liga secretariat did not acknowledge this and that the registration of Dani Olmo and Faubictor could be withdrawn. Barcelona then announced that it would take legal action against La Liga's handling.
