Barcelona working to arrange a friendly against Club America on December 21 – report

It has already been reported that Barcelona wish to arrange a friendly match in the coming weeks as a means to generate revenue ahead of the January transfer window.

Reports have suggested that the Blaugrana have been planning to hold the friendly encounter away in the United States of America, where they enjoyed commercial success during the pre-season tour this year and last year.

Now, a fresh report from Gerard Romero has shed light on the possible opponent and other details regarding the friendly.

Barcelona to face Club America

As per the report from Romero, Barcelona are working on arranging a friendly against Mexican side Club America next month.

The idea is for the Blaugrana to play the Mexican outfit right after their last La Liga match before the mid-season break.

As things stand, Barça are scheduled to play UD Almeria in their final league game before the Christmas break on December 19/20.

And, as per Romero’s update, the Catalans wish to arrange the friendly against Club Mexico for December 21 before players can take off for their holidays.

Dallas identified as the location

The update from Romero also specifies that Barcelona are working with the idea of hosting the pre-Christmas friendly against Club America in Dallas in the USA.

The final details are not set in stone yet and work is being done to accommodate the La Liga calendar and the travel time before everything is finalised.

But as things stand, it appears that Barça will be on their way to the USA once again this year, having already visited the North American nation during the summer for pre-season.
