Barcelona and the endless story of the economic levers. The Blaugrana has been struggling with their salary limit since the first summer when they sold part of their assets to finance large editions in the transfer window and want to sell shares in Barca Vision again.
In the summer of 2022, Barcelona punished the sale of 25% of their TV rights for € 527.5 million in the coming 25 years, a deal that yielded a short-term injection in the short term. The deal to sell 49.5% of the shares in Barca Vision, their digital income extraction, for a total of € 200 million. However, they only received about € 65 million of those reimbursements, and on the basis of the devaluation of the other 50.5% of the company, losing around € 200 million in the end.
One of the companies that did not pay their end of the deal with regard to Barca Vision was the German investment fund Libero. They were responsible for the purchase of 24.5% of the shares that were originally sold, but did not pay. Head of Cenafe Miguel Angel Galan has now claimed that he has sport that Barcelona has found a buyer to buy the € 40 million in shares that were not originally paid by Libero. This would in theory reduce Barcelona within their salary limit and in the so-called 1: 1 spending rule for the transfer market.
After Aramark had bought an interest of 6.14%for € 25 million last summer, the other companies involved in Barca Vision are Blaugrana Invest (18.96%), teobe (4.93%), Hellgas (14.73%) and Orpheus Media (1.83%). It is not entirely clear what the division of shares would be with the new buyer. As is apparent from the past three years, until the money is in Barcelona's account, there is little certainty about how a new sale at Barca Vision would influence their situation.
