The sale of a 17% more of the television rights will allow FC Barcelona invest half of the $550 million dollars ($208 millions of dollars, approximately) that he plans to enter into “an exciting project”. This was recognized by one of the heavyweights of the Barça board to EFE.
The Catalan club took the first step to save its economy with the sale of the % of their television rights of the next 25 years to the Sixth Street investment fund, in exchange for $216 million dollars. The operation made it possible to save the season financially, since it had losses of $168 million dollars, and will record numbers green after three years.
The next step will be the sale of the 15% more of your television rights for the same time (25 years); although, in this case, the gross income could be around $417 million dollars. This amount will allow Barcelona to end the restrictions of the so-called financial fair play imposed by LaLiga and which it greatly limited their economic and sporting maneuver.
“In that case, the proportion would be one to one. We could carry out operations without restrictions,” the same source told EFE. Without delving into the operations, they have names and surnames, up to six objectives. The main one is Robert Lewandowski, with whom Barcelona has an agreement in principle and continues to negotiate with Bayern Munich. The Polish striker could be the axis around which the new Barcelona would orbit in attack, a reference for young Barça footballers.
Barcelona is looking for great signings
Another of the shots goes to the Brazilian international Raphinha, an explosive winger, capable of overflowing and defending, who plays for Leeds; but that he has offers from big teams in the Premier, like Chelsea and Arsenal. Barcelona’s advantage is that Deco, a former player of the Catalan club, is its representative and, furthermore, the player wants to play for the Catalan team.
A third bullet is that of the French center-back Jules Koundé, from Sevilla, who is the one chosen by Xavi Hernández to replace the casualties of Clément Lenglet, who has a foot and a half on loan at Tottenham, and Samuel Umtiti. The fourth target is Bernardo Silva, the Manchester City midfielder, who would be the icing on the cake. The arrival of the Portuguese, as confirmed by the same source to EFE, would not imply the departure of Frenkie de Jong, unless “an irresistible offer” arrived through the Dutchman.
The two Chelsea lanes are also in the pipeline: Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta. At present, the arrival of the former seems more feasible than that of the latter, since the Stamford Bridge team is hindering its departure at low cost. Barcelona’s idea is to make all these operations effective before next July 17, which is when begins the tour of the United States, in which he will play four games. If it is not possible, the maximum term is at the end of this month.
