According to various reports FC Barcelona is seeking to work with other investors to sell Barca Studios. Barcelona’s finances will be greatly increased by the sale of a 40% stake in this asset, and this increase may enable the team to sign multiple players during the next winter transfer window.
The magnitude of Barcelona’s financial issues is demonstrated by the club’s need to sell its long-term assets to spend in the winter market. The Catalans have been battling economic issues for several years because their economic condition has not stabilized. However, this may change completely if the ruling of the ESL is confirmed.

According to various reports, a few anticipated events in the next few days might instantly resolve the Catalan club’s financial issues. The European High Court is anticipated to rule on the European Super League on Thursday, December 21.
The teams endorsing the ESL want to create a structure that will provide transitional guarantees as well as an additional structure that will enable clubs to enter the tournament without having to withdraw from their national leagues and cups following a favorable ruling. This will be a piece of huge news for FC Barcelona as the financial gain could shower Real Madrid and Barcelona with a staggering $1 billion and clear all of Barca’s in one go.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is heading the Super League negotiations
About fifty to sixty clubs are presently in negotiations with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to launch the new open European Super League. Like UEFA’s Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League hierarchies, the competition would divide the teams into three categories.
The Spanish administrator is pressuring the teams to join the innovative initiative instead of UEFA’s schemes. After that, member clubs would gain a great deal financially from an independent Super League. Perez has been trying to get the ESL up and running for years now. He tried it in 2021 but failed due to a fan backlash but this time he is certain it will go through.
🚨 Florentino Perez is in talks with around 50/60 clubs to start a new open European Super League with 3 divisions, which they would play instead of the Champions League and Europa League. 🇪🇺

Next week, the European Court of Justice is anticipated to render a decision in the UEFA v. European Super League dispute. The decision could require the clubs to decide whether they want to play in the Super League or UEFA competitions beginning in the 2025–2026 season.
It remains to be seen how this story unfolds as it will be a huge decision and most probably will send the soccer community into a wild frenzy once again. However, Perez seems committed to getting this deal regarding the ESL done as it has been his dream for many years.
