Barca said they expect to earn around €600 million from the deals, which help to shore up the club’s finances, ensuring it can finish the financial year without losses and increase their spending limit.

Barca’s debt spiralled to €1.35 billion last year and they are also pushing ahead with the redevelopment of their Camp Nou stadium, which is projected to cost in the region of €1.5 billion. The club posted a loss of €481 million after tax for 2020/21.
