The FC Barcelona continues working as the planned by the directive with the end of sanear the economy of the institution. The abysmal management of Josep Maria Bartomeu, combined with the estragos that caused the COVID to the humanity, have left to the club in a precarious situation in matter of finances, causing a negative impact so much in image as in the exert sportive of the team.
In front of this, Joan Laporta and company have decided to sell several active of the entity with the end to give him a dump to the situation and reduce the enormous debt that left the ancient leadership. Between the sales in the planning stand out the one of 49.9% of 'Barça Licensing and Merchandising' and 25% of the television rights, being this last the one who more money will leave in the arks of the Camp Nou.
After all these 'crowbars' have been approved by the Assembly of Compromisarios, the signature 'Sixth Street' is the one who more interest and better offer has had for aliarse with the Barcelona. The group investor purchased 10% of the rights of TV by 25 years in return of 207.5 million euros in his first movement, what allowed to the sportive direction close the course in positive and go in of full in the market of signings.
Now, as it aims the newspaper 'SPORT', the Barça will close the sale of 15% remaining with the same society of investment by a figure that oscillates between the 320 and 330 millions, generating a plusvalía of 400 'kilos'. With this, the Barcelona group will be able to concretise the majority of his operations of market, including the incorporation of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and possibly Jules Koundé.
Another 'ace under the sleeve'
In addition to that the club still has the option to sell 49.9% of 'BLM', also has the active of 'Barça Studios'. This unit of creation, production, distribution and commercialisation of audiovisual material could generate even more income in case to be necessary, although it is a difficult door to open by the fact that the culés does not have the whole of the rights of image of his players. This means that they can not elaborate individual content of each one of them, what reduces his appeal for the market ofertante. Anyway, it is an alternative more than has the directive under his custody.
