Barcelona finally have some clarity on when they can return to Camp Nou, beyond estimates based on the pace of work. They have agreed on two possible dates with construction company Limak.
Relevo indicates that Barcelona's previous targets and leaks – first in December, then February and March – were deemed unrealistic by Limak. However, the Blaugrana are keen to return to Camp Nou this season, not just for their image, but also for their finances. The €28m revenue they had budgeted from a return to Camp Nou is already out of reach, but they could regain some of that with just a few games back in Les Corts.
Barcelona have asked Limak to prioritize all their efforts to ensure the grass can be laid in the coming months, with the company responsible for the playing surface, Garden Tona, now cultivating the grass. They hope to return for the weekend of the Sant Jordi Festival in Barcelona, that is, April 23, with 60,000 fans in the stadium. That is a date they have agreed with Limak, and if that is not possible, they will focus on the Clasico against Real Madrid two weeks later, in early May.
