It is considered increasingly unlikely that La Liga champions Barcelona will be given the green light to host their first home match of the new season at the Spotify Camp Nou.
That’s according to journalist Jordi Blanco Duch, who has this week provided a fresh insight into the situation.
With the new Spanish season now officially underway, construction works at the Camp Nou have been kicked up a notch over recent weeks.
This comes amid hopes of the stadium being available for use for Barcelona’s home meeting with Valencia on September 14th.
As much has not yet been made official, but Joan Laporta and co. are pushing hard for the renovations to be completed within the next couple of weeks.
As alluded to above, however, if the latest word stemming from the Spanish media is anything to go by, then the likelihood of as much appears to be dwindling further by the day.
As per a report from the aforementioned Jordi Blanco Duch:
‘The chances of Barca returning to the Camp Nou are diminishing. Montjuïc, after a stint at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on September 14th, seems the most likely scenario.’
