Barcelona set to receive €650 million funding soon

As reported by MARCA, Barcelona could be in a position to receive massive funding in the range of €650 million in the imminent future.

Barcelona have been working relentlessly to deal with their financial issues and prepare themselves for what promises to be a crucial summer transfer window.

The Catalans are planning to go big on Erling Haaland, and the operation to sign him could alone end up costing €300 million. So, it is imperative that the club ensure that they are on solid ground financially in order to pull off the deal and stay afloat without getting into deeper troubles.

And, the Blaugrana could be on their way to achieving that as a huge investment of €650 million could be coming the club’s way via two separate operations.

Firstly, Barcelona are renegotiating an agreement with CVC after having rejected their proposal in the summer, which prevented them from holding on to Lionel Messi. Talks have been going on for a few weeks and it is believed that an agreement is not very far.

Once that is finalised, the Catalan giants would stand to receive a sum of around €300 million. It is further claimed that the fund would be counted as equity and not loan, which was fundamental for Barça to go ahead with the operation.

Secondly, Barcelona could receive €350 million from the sale of 49% of Barça Studios, the club’s audiovisual production wing. A deal is not close to completion as there are still deliberations over whether to sell 49% of the stakes or just 30%, while there is also talk of including a repurchase option.

Nonetheless, should these two operations go through seamlessly, Barça would stand to gain a massive €650 million investment. In addition to that, the report also adds that these two deals could lead to the club’s wage bill limit to be increased by €75 million.
