La Liga giants Barcelona, despite their recent financial woes, have done the opposite and made a big push for reinforcements this summer. It turns out that Barcelona has a rich reserve of "assets" that can be realized to raise funds. According to Spanish media reports such as Marca, Barcelona through the sale of the next 25 years 15% of the broadcasting rights, a one-off income of up to 320 million euros, for the team's reinforcements and daily expenses to provide a strong financial support.
It is worth noting that Barcelona's previous 10% broadcasting rights sale had also brought in €207 million. Now, the sale of a further 15% of the broadcasting rights has brought in another €320 million. Both deals were undertaken by US investment firm Sixth Street.
Although Barcelona received huge sums of money from the sale of 25% of the broadcasting rights, this is, after all, an overdraft on future earnings. As a result, the club still needs to keep a tight rein on its expenses. To this end, Barcelona is planning to sell some of its players, consider selling shares in its companies, and may even sell the remaining broadcasting rights again to ensure financial stability.
