Barcelona activate the second lever, new players can be registered ‘with ease’ now

A few weeks ago, Barcelona sold 10% of their TV rights to Sixth Street, earning nearly €200 million. This was, at the time, the first of the three planned economic levers planned by the board to resolve the club’s financial disarray.

The first lever helped them make some ‘big’ moves in the summer transfer window, as they signed Raphinha from Leeds United for €58 million, and then Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich for €45 million.

Barça are now about to activate the second lever, according to Joan Vehils. This presumably comes in the form of a further 15% of their TV rights to Sixth Street for a sum in the region of €400 million.

The journalist, who is close to Joan Laporta, also says that Barça will be able to register new signing and renewals ‘with ease’. It ends the La Liga 3:1 compulsion for the Catalan giants.

Barcelona have completed three other signings this summer apart from Lewandowski and Raphinha. Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie join from Chelsea and AC Milan respectively on free transfers, while Pablo Torre completes his move from Racing Santander.

The official announcement could be coming soon as Barcelona get ready to complete even more signing this summer. Jules Kounde and Bernardo Silve are just two of the superstars on their radar. Exciting times on their way.
