FC Barcelona and Real Madrid They are finalizing an alliance to give entry to private capital and thus be able to compete on equal terms with the clubs that are in the hands of the States, such as PSG or Manchester City, and billionaires. As reported this Friday by the newspaper ‘ABC’, the idea is to cede 49% of its property to large companies or investment groups, a transformation that would require the approval of the members of both clubs in a referendum or in an Assembly of compromising members. That is, it would be a partial privatization. The project is still in an embryonic phase.
According to this information, the precursor of the idea is Ferran Reverter, CEO of the Blaugrana club, with the aim of overcoming the delicate economic situation that the Catalan entity is going through. Reverter has been working for some time on a partial privatization of the club, since partners would retain 51% ownership and on paper they would still be the owners.
Salvador Sostres explains on ‘ABC’ that Real Madrid is studying this idea “with attention and sympathy”. Florentino Pérez, madridista president, He doesn’t have so many economic emergencies, but he thinks it’s good to go hand in hand with Barcelona to make his partners aware that in the long run there will be no choice but to apply the same formula. Neither of the two clubs is interested in the classic losing its current appeal.
Is about a formula that some Bundesliga clubs have already used, like Bayern Munich. German legislation requires that clubs can only count on the support of companies from their own ‘länder’ and as they are not listed on the stock market, these companies do not obtain dividends.
Barcelona and Real Madrid They agree, according to ‘ABC’, that the best solution in their case would be to go public, which would avoid ending up in the hands of Russian or Arab oligarchs.
