Barca plan to alter preseason tour plans next summer in search of more income

Barcelona have made the United States their home away from home in the summer months, with every preseason tour they've had since the pandemic hit across the pond. However, the Catalan giants will deviate from that practice next summer.

According to Marca, one of the ways Barcelona are looking to increase their revenue next summer is by heading to Asia. With the Club World Cup taking place in the US next summer in June and July, the Blaugrana will head east instead, and that tour is expected to bring in more money than their usual option, which will help solve their salary cap issues .

It is a surprise that in recent years Barcelona have chosen to go to the US instead of Asia, when the latter is more financially advantageous. That said, they are generally competing against Europe's top teams when they do, and if they are in action at the Club World Cup, removing that factor could make all the difference.
