Barcelona to Hold September General Assembly to Vote on Additional 400 Million Euro Loan for Camp Nou Renovation
According to Marca, FC Barcelona has confirmed it will hold a general assembly in September to vote on securing an additional loan of 400-500 million euros from Goldman Sachs. The loan is needed due to budget overruns in the Camp Nou renovation project, driven by rising global construction material prices linked to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The club previously secured a 1.45 billion euro loan from Goldman Sachs. The board, chaired by first vice president Yuste in the absence of hospitalized president Laporta (suffering from arrhythmia), decided to merge the extraordinary general assembly with the ordinary one to save costs. Barcelona management classifies the loan as a 'special non-recurring debt' and expects revenue from the new stadium and commercial facilities to cover repayment. Laporta, re-elected in March for a term until 2031, missed the board meeting and cannot travel to England for preseason training due to medical advice.

FC Barcelona faces a new delay in the Spotify Camp Nou renovation, with the opening of the third amphitheater ring postponed from the start of the season to at least the first quarter of 2027, causing a loss in anticipated ticket and season ticket revenue. The board of directors, chaired by vice president Rafa Yuste due to Joan Laporta's health absence, discussed the need for a refinancing of approximately 400 million euros to complete the works. This requires an extraordinary assembly, which will be combined with the ordinary assembly in September to save costs. On the sporting front, the club is finalizing a friendly match in Tangier, Morocco, on August 15 against a local team, while the women's team will play Manchester City on the same date. The club is also progressing on closing accounts and preparing the budget for the next campaign.
