FC Barcelona have secured a financing deal worth €1.45 billion that will enable the club to renovate its iconic but outdated Camp Nou stadium and its surroundings after having renegotiated the initial terms, they said on Monday.
This means Barca will finish repaying the debt six years earlier than previously agreed, after renegotiating what was initially a 35-year deal approved in a referendum of club members in 2021. The announcement comes 24 days after the previous deadline to reach a deal, Mar 31, elapsed. The club said at the time that negotiations were still ongoing.
Later, KBRA said it had converted its preliminary rating to unpublished from published at the club's request. Club president Joan Laporta, who presided over one of Barca's most successful periods from 2003 to 2010, was re-elected two years ago after the previous board resigned due to the club's worsening finances and other issues.
