Know more about La Liga’s 1:1 (1-!) rule in football as reports surfaced online suggesting that Barcelona expects to finalize the sale of 15% of Barça Vision shortly after the Sant Joan festival in Catalonia, which concludes next Monday
Upon completing the necessary paperwork and formalities, the team will once again be able to operate under La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule, which ensures fair financial dealings.
This rule ensures fair play in financial dealings, allowing Barcelona to resume normal transfer activities, a capability they’ve lacked for some time ensuring compliance with La Liga’s fair play regulations.
The club considers this a major success as it allows them to meet their budget goals without having to sell any players, use financial levers or advance revenue from their contract with Nike, which is nearing finalization.

After several months of negotiations with various interested companies, including a tech firm from Dubai, Barcelona is now in the final stages of contract review.
They hope to formalize the sale of the 15% stake in Barça Vision, previously owned by Libero. This sale was included in the club’s budget for the 2023-24 season.
Completing this deal will enable Barcelona to meet their financial targets and potentially close the fiscal year with a profit.

This financial stability will allow them to sign new players under the 1:1 rule, ensuring compliance with La Liga’s fair play regulations.
when the club comes back to the 1:1 rule they can sell and earn let’s say 200M and the club can decide to use 100% of the money earned to buy the player of their choice buh if it’s 1:3 or 1:4 and the club earns 200M from their sales they can only use 1/3 or 1/4 of the money

The club views this agreement as a major success, as it allows them to meet their budget goals without having to sell any players, use other financial levers, or advance revenue from their upcoming contract with Nike, which is also nearing finalization.
This achievement is particularly noteworthy given the challenges Barcelona faces due to their temporary move to the Montjuïc stadium.
The ongoing renovations at their regular home, Spotify Camp Nou, have led to an estimated loss of nearly €100 million, primarily due to reduced ticket sales, as the Montjuïc stadium has half the capacity of Camp Nou, and fewer VIP areas, which are significantly scaled down.
In summary, Barcelona’s expected agreement to sell a portion of Barça Vision is a crucial step towards financial stability. It will allow them to adhere to La Liga’s financial fair play rules and resume normal player transfers!
