Barcelona on the cusp of returning to 1:1 rule as €40m fund injection set to arrive

While the sports management headed by director Deco continues to work on new signings and departures to complete Hansi Flick’s squad, Barcelona executives are pouring efforts to ensure that the club can operate under the 1:1 rule this summer.

And, Ferran Correas of SPORT is now reporting that there may finally be light at the end of the tunnel as far as the return to the 1:1 rule is concerned.

€40 million funds to arrive

The crux of the issue that has dragged on for months now has been the non-payment of €40 million from Libero towards the Barça Studios.

The €40 million was budgeted for the 2023/24 season, but never arrived, which is why La Liga consider that the club have failed to comply with the plan presented to them.

Nevertheless, there is a solution to the problem and Barcelona are sure that the €40 million that were owed by Libero are now on the verge of arriving, albeit through a company that has already had a relationship with Barcelona.

Indeed, the agreement is expected to be announced between this week and next week. This will ensure that the Blaugrana can operate in the market with the 1:1 rule.

Another €60 million in the coming months

Despite this, the work does not stop for Barcelona as they have to continue looking for another investor to provide Barça Vision with another €60 million, which is expected to be paid in this 2024/25 season.

According to club sources, they have also been working for months to obtain these €60 million, although they are not in the same hurry as the other €40 million.

There is a margin for them to arrive because the budget for this financial year 2024/25 will not be finalised until mid-August and then be presented to the Assembly of Commitment Holders, scheduled for October.

So it seems that the problem caused by the non-payment of Libero is close to being solved, taking Barcelona a step closer to operating under the 1:1…
