Barça is one step away from completing the return to the 1/1 rule and signing normally. The culés get a sponsor who will deposit the 40 million euros that Libero did not pay in October for 10% of Barça Studios

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona has found a 'savior' to end its biggest 'headache' of the summer. The culés have reached an agreement with a new sponsor for him to deposit the 40 million euros unpaid by Libero in the month of October for the 10% of Barça Studios that they acquired. The club worked incessantly for months to 'unblock' this operation and, finally, this Tuesday at noon the deal will be signed at the offices of the Catalan entity.

This has been reported in 'Què T'hi Jugues' of the 'Cadena Ser', where they maintain that the coffers of the Blaugrana institution will receive the aforementioned amount immediately, with the remaining 60 million euros of the agreement with Libero being paid in. at the end of summer, although this amount is not in such a hurry. This situation will mean that the culé squad is just one step away from returning to the 1/1 rule to sign normally in the current transfer market, since LaLiga will release this important figure from the salary limit.

For its part, the newspaper 'SPORT' assures that, although the agreement between the parties is closed, it will not be announced until Wednesday, August 7, once the Barça expedition has returned to Barcelona from the tour of the USA. The Catalan tour will end this morning, when the team led by Hansi Flick plays its last match on North American soil against AC Milan in Baltimore.

The first big signing of the summer would arrive

With this problem solved, Can Barça will focus on closing Dani Olmo's return to what was his home. The arrival of the Egarense is a priority in the sports management, who turned their gaze to the midfielder after the option of Nico Williams fell almost definitively with the reincorporation of the Navarrese into the first team discipline of Athletic Club de Bilbao this Tuesday 6 of August.

In that sense, Deco, head of the Blaugana club's sports area, has already headed to Leipzig in what is presumed to be the definitive summit to finalize the signing of Olmo, where all the parties involved will be present. After the Red Bulls rejected the first two offers for the Euro Cup champion, within the Catalan entity they hope that the third proposal will be the decisive one to get the first big addition of the summer.
