In Very Encouraging News for FC Barcelona Fans
It seems that the club is on the verge of receiving a long-awaited financial boost. Miguel Galán, president of the National Center for Football Coaches Training (CENAFE), has indicated that Libero Football Finance MG will soon pay the €40 million it still owes the club. This comes after Barcelona moved to find a new investor in the Barça Vision project.
Background of the Story
In the summer of 2023, Libero reached an agreement with Barcelona to acquire 9.3% of the shares in Bridgeburg Invest, which is linked to Barça Vision. However, despite the agreement, the full payment never arrived in the club’s coffers, causing financial embarrassment for Barcelona.
At the beginning of 2025, an American company called Aramark stepped in and paid part of the outstanding amount, acquiring 6.13% of the project’s shares. With Barcelona threatening to sell Libero’s remaining stake to a new investor, the German company was forced to act and announced it would pay the remaining €40 million—after having already paid €20 million.
Financial Impact on the Club
This significant amount, expected to be included in the 2025/26 season budget, will serve as a major boost for the club to strengthen the squad. More importantly, it will help Barcelona comply with the La Liga financial fair play rules (the 1:1 rule). According to Galán, the club had never actually left the rule, contrary to La Liga's claims, and succeeded in maintaining it thanks to new income sources—such as the sale of VIP seats.
Club president Joan Laporta also confirmed, during his appearance at the "Catalan Senate," that the club had overcome many financial difficulties, which enabled them to complete signings like Dani Olmo. He also hinted that another important signing would be announced soon.
Conclusion
This news is not just about financial relief—it signals that Barcelona is moving toward financial stability. It gives the club the ability to build a competitive squad for the next season without clashing with La Liga regulations. It’s a positive development that brings hope to the fans for a strong transfer window and a brighter future.
