FC Barcelona's economy has received an important 'breather'. Last Tuesday morning, 'Què t'hi jugues' from 'Cadena SER' reported that the Barça entity had found a formula to pay the 40 million euros that Libero did not pay last October for 10% of Barça Studios. The culés reached an agreement with one of their sponsors so that he would take charge of the aforementioned figure, although his name was unknown.
Well, this Wednesday the aforementioned program has confirmed that the company that has acted as the club's 'lifesaver' and that has put the money on the table in the Blaugrana offices is Aramark. The American company, current supplier and sponsor of the institution in catering services for the future Spotify Camp Nou, signed the agreement to execute the payment on Tuesday afternoon, thus resolving one of the 'headaches' of the culés.
The operation, however, represents the first part of the 100 million euros unpaid by Libero. Despite this, it allows the Catalan entity to approach the 1/1 rule this summer in order to be able to move with almost total normality in the current transfer market, assume the pending registrations of the squad for the next season and avoid any financial setback with 'fair play' before starting the official tournaments.
The announcement of the agreement will be made official throughout this Wednesday, when the Barcelona expedition, led by the club's directors, lands in Barcelona after completing the tour of the United States. The Barça squad put an end to a successful tour of North America in which the sensations are quite positive, and now they will return home with good news under their arms.
Payment of the remaining 60 million
On the other hand, and as 'SPORT' reported on August 6, the rest of the final amount will be paid between three Barça sponsors. Nike, Spotify and Aramark itself will be responsible for the deposit of the missing 60 million, which are expected in the Blaugrana coffers before the end of the summer and the next Assembly of Committers is held in October.
