Barcelona receives the 28 million pending for the sale of VIP seats; awaiting approval for 1:1 rule

As a positive development, Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona has obtained the remaining 28 million euros from one of the two investors who finance the exploitation rights of the VIP seats at the future Spotify Camp Nou.

Once the bank transfer is completed, the club will present the necessary documentation to La Liga. This should allow the club to operate in the transfer market under the 1:1 rule.

Although this evolution allows Barcelona to participate freely in the transfer market, it does not resolve the situation of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor.

The two players were released by La Liga on January 1, creating the paradoxical situation in which the club can sign new players but cannot yet reinstate Olmo and Víctor.

Following Libero’s defaults in relation to Barça Vision, La Liga implemented stricter financial regulations.

Under these rules, any sale of assets requires the club to have at least 20% of the proceeds in its accounts. If the investing company lacks a verified credit report, the required down payment increases to 40%.

In the case of Barcelona, ​​two different investors were involved, one from Qatar and the other from Dubai. This required the club to obtain 40% of the funds from each operation.

The 28 million euros that were pending from an investor have already been received, meeting the demands of La Liga.

With these financial requirements met, Barcelona can now focus on strengthening its squad in the ongoing transfer window.

However, as mentioned, it does not guarantee the registration of Olmo and Víctor and the club is awaiting a response from the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) regarding the reissuance of licenses for both. If it fails, the Catalans will take legal measures again.
