Barcelona convinced €60 million ‘lever’ will be finalised next week – report

In the midst of various market speculations, Barcelona were contemplating selling a 16% stake in Barça Studio in an effort to bring in fresh money.

A German investment fund even showed interest in acquiring the 16% stake in Barça Studio. The transaction was supposed to bring in €60 million worth of revenue to the club.

However, the transaction came to a sudden halt, effectively striking a blow to Barcelona’s chances of acquiring fresh funds this summer.

Barcelona convinced last lever will go through

Despite the halt in negotiations, Barcelona are convinced their last lever will be finalised by next week, reports Diario SPORT.

The Spanish news publication points out that Barcelona’s agreement with the German investment fund was delayed due to interest from another company.

But the two parties have now resolved the issue and are hoping to finalise the agreement in the near future.

Once the transaction is completed, Barcelona are set to receive a financial boost of €60 million, though the club may not utilise all of the given figure.

How will the financial injection aid Barça?

Barcelona are currently in a precarious position in the market as they anticipate the sale of Ousmane Dembele.

The club are looking for a new attacker to replace Dembele, along with a new right-back and a new midfielder. On top of it, Barça need to register all the new signings.

The Catalans are expecting revenue from the sale of Dembele and Franck Kessie. But the €60 million revenue boost from the sale of Barça Studio could help the club balance the books further.

While they can use player sales to register the new signings, the revenue from the sale of Barça Studio could help their pursuit of top targets such as Bernardo Silva or Joao Cancelo.
