Barcelona ready to activate third economic lever, €100 million boost expected

After having confirmed the activation of the Second Economic Lever earlier in the day, there is a talk regarding the activation of the third economic lever, as per Ferran Correas.

The report suggests that Barca are accelerating the process of activating the lever, which would help the club register all of their signings.

The report also suggests that Barca are only looking to sell 20-30% of Barça Studios for a total of €100 million, instead of the previously reported total of 49%.

The change could be down to them trying to soften the long-term financial blow that would be facing after the activation of all three levers.

The financial situation at Barcelona has been one that has been very carefully documented throughout the entirety of the last year, especially after the crazy transfer saga of then-captain, Lionel Messi.

The situation has been widely known and luckily for Cules, the sign of positive change are shimmering.

The activation of the first two economic levers saw the Catalan giants being able to make their marquee signing of Robert Lewandowski and registering their transfers of players like Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, and Raphinha.

However, the Blaugrana do not seem to be done with their squad overhaul as they still look to delve into the market.

The activation of the third lever could see the Catalans become competent again to sign a central defender and a left full-back, two profiles that Xavi Hernandez has listed down that the club could improve in.

If recent reports are to be believed, one of the next signings for the Blaugrana could be that of Athletic Bilbao defender, Inigo Martinez. As per reports, he could cost the club in the region of €50 million if they wish to hire the services of the 31-year-old.
