Barca is about to be rescued.

Spain Yesterday, June 16, Barcelona members approved two economic options, allowing the club to earn about $525 million.

Barca's senior group of members voted through the plan to sell 49% of the commodity business and 25% of the television copyright segment. Barca did not disclose these rights sold to anyone, for how long and the conditions of acquisition, but the expectation of about 525 million USD.

The chairman of Laporta insists, "We inherit an F1 car without gas and engine being confiscated. If we can activate economic lever, we can pay in a reasonable position and invest in the capital and invest in a more competitive team."

According to Laporta, the sale of 49% of the commodities business could yield $200 million to $300 million. Some partners wanted full control but he had to turn it down for the long-term benefit of the club.

In February, Barca withdrew from a semi -10% television copyright for 50 years to the CVC investment fund. According to Economic Vice President Eduard Romeu, the agreement to sell 25% to another partner with a short time is more beneficial to the club.

Barca is carrying debt to 1,5 billion USD, left behind during the former chairman of Josep Bartomeu. Five years in Europe, the European champions are forced to release Lionel Messi, lend Antoine Griezmann and sell Emerson Royal to lower the funds.

This summer, the economy has become a big problem again. Without refinancing, Barca will not be able to complete the recruitment of Robert Lewandowski, Frank Casey, Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta. "We've been losing money for three years and if we continue like this we won't be able to sign," Laporta admitted.
