A fresh insight into the ongoing efforts of the board at La Liga giants Barcelona to secure fresh funds has on Tuesday been provided.
The info comes courtesy of Mundo Deportivo, and points towards the Barca brass being hard at work behind the scenes.
Joan Laporta and co. have been left with no choice but to seek out new investment partners with a view to the summer.
As much comes owing to the sizable hole left in the club’s accounts by the failure of Libero Football Finance AG to come up with the promised money for their participation in Barça Vision.
With such funds having been made use of as collateral on the part of Barcelona in negotiations with La Liga over transfer market business, a replacement source of income must therefore be found.
This will prove decisive when it comes to the efforts of the Catalan club to return to the widely-discussed 1-1 transfer rule in Spain, a requirement to finance big-money signings with a view to next season.
As per the aforementioned MD, the Blaugrana, as a result, have made contact with potential investors in the likes of Dubai, and the United States.
The hope is that an agreement with one such party will be reached over the coming weeks, with a ‘summit’ being lined up on the part of the board of directors at the Camp Nou, to push through a potentially lucrative deal.
