Barcelona have sold a whooping 24.5% share of Barca Studios to Orpheus Media for €100m as they’re now set to activate the fourth lever, per Fabrizio Romano.
Barca Universal revealed that with this, Barcelona have officially sold a total of 49.5% of BDE for €200 million. They have also retained a majority stake in the company, while bringing in extra revenue that will go a long way to help them register new signings.
As it stands, though, the club is facing difficulties registering their new players – Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen -, and contract renewals – Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele.
It was widely reported that Barça will register 4-5 players before the league opener against Rayo Vallecano. However, with the activation of the fourth lever, coupled with the salary reduction of Gerard Pique, and possibly Sergio Busquets, the club may be able to register all player in time.
