recent update, it has come to light that Barcelona are about to finalise the sale of an unpaid €40 million stake related to a Liberian investment to another European investor.
This move almost guarantees that the club will return to the 1:1 financial rule, a development eagerly awaited by many.
The process involves Barcelona partnering with a European investor who will contribute €40 million. This will resolve a significant financial issue that has greatly limited the club’s ability to pursue its sporting ambitions in recent months.
Once the transaction is complete, Barcelona expect to resume their usual transfer activities. In light of this, let’s take a look at three players who might join Barcelona with the return to the 1:1 rule.
Strengthening the defensive midfield position is a top priority for Barcelona, and Mikel Merino is currently a strong candidate for this role.
Interestingly, Merino’s contract with Real Sociedad expires in a year, making him an ideal target for a financially constrained club like Barcelona.
His release clause stands at €65 million, a sum that Barcelona cannot afford. Instead, Barcelona plan to make an offer of €30 million.
Negotiations are expected
