After having spoken with <strong>CVC<\/strong> &#8211; which in 2021 acquired 10% of the La Liga business for 50 years -, Bar\u00e7a sold the same percentage of its television rights to <strong>Sixth Street<\/strong> for 25 years.<\/p>  <p>The first lever left an <strong>income of 207.5 million<\/strong>, around 60 &#8216;kilos&#8217; less than what the Blaugrana club would have earned with CVC with the big difference that the agreement was for half the time.<\/p>  <p>In July came the second lever, with which Bar\u00e7a repeated the formula of Sixth Street, <strong>selling an extra 15% of the TV rights for 330 million<\/strong>. The American investment fund went on to control 40% of the Blaugrana&#8217;s television rights for the next 25 years.<\/p>  <p>On August 1, Bar\u00e7a agreed to the <strong>sale of 24.5% of Bar\u00e7a Studios to Socios.com<\/strong> in exchange for 100 million, but it was blocked by LaLiga.
