FC Barcelona Set To Receive $46 Million Cash Injection By End Of Month
Spanish soccer giant is set to receive a $46 million (€40 million) cash injection by the end of the ... More month as reported by the likes of German reporter Christan Falk and Mundo Deportivo. Spanish soccer giant FC Barcelona is set to receive a $46 million (€40 million) cash injection by the end of the month as reported by the likes of German reporter Christan Falk and Mundo Deportivo. German group Libero agreed to pay the money in 2023, in relation to the resale of ownership stakes in Barca Studios which is also connected to the 'financial levers' of the previous summer that allowed the club to sign first team stars such as Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Jules Kounde. The fact that it hasn't been forthcoming until now has required Barca and its president Joan Laporta to perform numerous bouts of economic gymnastics to stay on the right side of Financial Fair Play, and there have also been intentions to sue one another from both parties. Yet might no longer be necessary in the near future according to CENAFE president Miguel Galan, who tweeted on X that 'at the end of this month of June, the club is about to complete the sale of the percentage that the Libero fund stopped paying for Barca Vision. With this operation, normality will be restored in the transfer market,". Galan added that "the operation is practically closed through a European partner, who will contribute €40 million and will solve a problem that has affected the club in recent months". Elsewhere, Christian Falk, who is a respected source of information on X and a BILD journalist, has also said that the cash will come from the Libero group. Falk explained that Libero will make the €40 million payment bringing its total invested to €60 million considering a €20 million already paid. After seeing that another European group was about to step in its place, Libero seems intent on acting swiftly and finally putting the matter to bed. Libero's money will help FC Barcelona stay on the right side of FFP limits and hopefully maintain the right to return to the 1:1 rule which is so important to making new signings. Laporta seems confident of it, saying on Wednesday that 'we're in a 1:1 situation and that allows us to sign normally' amid a pursuit for Nico Williams.
