If there is a situation that has supposed an authentic 'quebradero of head' to the FC Barcelona, is the fact that the German company Free Football Finance AG, that in his moment showed his interest in purchasing 29,5% of participation in Bridgeburg Invest, commercial mark of Barça Vision in society with NIPA Main B.V, did not honour the commitment purchased in August of the past year. This left to the Barcelona cast without an income that already there was contabilizado in front of LaLiga, and that this had approved.

It is necessary to remember that the bottom germano was forced to make a first payment of 40 M€ to the combined Catalan during the summer of 2023, corresponding to a participation of 9.8%. Nevertheless, this payment did not materialise , in spite of having extended the deadline until December of 2023, what carried to the Barcelonan cast to undertake legal actions against the Germans.

Now, the inability of the FC Barcelona to report this economic profit of Free Football Finance AG left to the club 'tied of hands' in front of LaLiga, since to the not being to the day with the accounts, results him extremely complicated operate in matter of incorporations under the rule 1/1.

Even, as it commented in 'Sportive World', the FC Barcelona has foreseen to complete this week the payment of the 40 million euros that Free did not credit corresponding to the exercise 2023/24, with the aim to close the exercise without incurring in losses. However, still they would be missing 60 'kilos' that the team engaged to guarantee in front of LaLiga for the campaign 2024/25 and that purportedly would arrive through the participation of NIPA Main B.V, that purchased 19,7% of the agreement. Although the company of capital of risk domiciliada in Low Countries credited in his moment 20 M€, still subtract 60 for cancelling, and these still have not reported .

How it plans the Barcelona cast face up to him this situation?

Near sources to the Catalan picture suggest that they have ensured 30 million euros and that five investors are interested in participating in the business to guarantee the others 30 'kilos' pending. One of these investors seems to be Spotify, although the Swedish company, when contributing in stock exchange, has to subject his decisions to audits and fulfil with strict filters of normative fulfillment, what carries time, a resource of the that the square culé does not have in abundance.

To his time, from the breast of the managerial culé signals the urgency to ensure these remaining income the before possible to close the accounts of the club to the greater shortness, since the time constrains.
