So how might the Barcelona giant go in a few weeks from a situation where it was considering further salary cuts for its players to such an ambitious transfer window? Thanks to financial levers activated by Barça. A few days ago, the Catalan club formalized the sale of 49.9% of its commercial company (Barça Licensing Merchandising) for a sum that might bring in between 200 and 300 million. And Joan Laporta also obtained in June the agreement of his socios, on June 16, to sell up to 25% of his TV rights for a maximum period of 25 years.

We will be able to make the necessary investments
On Friday, FC Barcelona thus formalized having sold 10% of its TV rights to the American fund Sixth Street for an amount of approximately 207.5 million euros. And that’s just the start according to Mundo Deportivo. The Catalan club intends to sell the remaining 15% and is already discussing with possible buyers. Its goal ? Recover 400 million euros before July 17. And of these 400 million, the Blaugrana would like to allocate half of it to transfers for this summer.
200 millions ! A substantial envelope, unthinkable a few days ago. And this mattress might allow the Catalan formation to afford the targets that make Xavi salivate for this summer window on the transfer window planet. Provided he meets La Liga’s Financial Fair Play conditions. Namely: free from payroll.
“Thanks to these operations, we will have positive funds once more“, Laporta told the socios, when he asked them for permission to carry out these operations. “We will repay the debt in a reasonable manner and we will be able to make the necessary investments to make our teams more competitive“. And he intends to move from words to deeds.
