FC Barcelona will activate a new lever to save its transfer window

Activating a new lever is an expression that FC Barcelona has appropriated in recent years. Experiencing very serious financial difficulties, the Catalan club did not hesitate to partially sell assets in order to obtain income and be able to invest them in the transfer market. In this sense, Barça had partially ceded its television rights (Barça TV in particular) and license for several years to come. A decision that could partially mortgage its future. Regardless, this had allowed the club to recruit Jules Koundé, Robert Lewandowski and more recently to loan João Cancelo and João Felix.

But despite several economic levers activated, the financial situation of FC Barcelona has not really improved. The club still has major difficulties and remains in debt. And this inevitably has a direct impact on the athlete. Recently, when he was finally due to extend his contract, Xavi was fired by his management, who did not appreciate his statements about the club’s lack of resources. Now at the head of the team, German coach Hansi Flick is also demanding recruits and resources to strengthen a squad with major shortcomings.

Barça convinced the league

In this sense, according to information from Sports world and of SportFC Barcelona has decided to activate a new economic lever to recover money. The club will once again sell shares in its company Barça Vision. The club will recover 40 million euros in this sale that will compensate for the non-payment of the company Libero Football Finance that had bought 10% of Barça Vision, but has not yet paid the amount. This new sale will allow Barça to improve its accounts for the current season. And the club is working on other agreements that will bring in 60 million euros more.

And with this new inflow of money of around 100 million euros in total, Barça would be within the 1:1 rule in La Liga. This rule will allow Barça to reinvest in the transfer market every euro earned by selling a player (and several could leave). Proof of the good progress of the negotiations to activate this new economic lever, La Liga has already accepted that Barça returns to the 1:1 rule. And in the event of a delay in the sale, the club will still be able to recruit players without registering them in La Liga (as was the case with Jules Koundé). But Barça hopes not to have to go that far.
