Laporta and Barcelona finalise 200 million euro BLM deal

Barcelona have been negotiating with various investment groups for some time in their bid to raise funds ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Blaugrana are close to finalising a deal that will see the club securing 200 million euros by selling some of the club's assets.

As reported by 2Playbook, Barcelona will sell 49 percent of Barca Licensing Merchandising (BLM) in exchange for the aforementioned amount.

By securing those 200m euros, Barcelona will be able to balance their books ahead of next season. The deal will be finalised before June 30, but it must first ratified by Barcelona members in a special assembly.

This amount is significantly lower than what the club initially intended to receive from the sale of their assets. Barcelona want the deal to include a repurchase option, as president Joan Laporta confirmed a few weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are still in talks about a potential agreement on the CVC deal from LaLiga that would provide them with extra income. By signing the CVC deal, Barcelona would be able to improve their salary limit and lure more players to Catalonia in the summer.
