ABC: Real Madrid and Barca are studying the possibility of privatizing parts of the club

According to Spanish media ABC, Real Madrid and Barcelona are studying the possibility of privatizing parts of the club, and the initial idea is that up to 49% of the club's shares will be sold to other companies or investment groups.

Barca have been in financial trouble for the last two years, with the club's current CEO, Ferran Reverter, one of the facilitators of partial privatization of the club, and even if he gives up 49% of the club's shares, barca members will still retain 51% of the shares, and in theory they will continue to have the final say.

Although Real Madrid is currently doing well, it is also feeling increasingly financial pressure in the face of competition from "national clubs" such as Manchester City and Paris, as well as manchester United, which has already been listed, and the club believes that in the long run, at least partial privatization may have to be taken.

Whether it is Barça or Real Madrid, the club's privatization plan must be approved by the general assembly, and a Barça executive said in an interview that solving this problem can ensure the competitiveness of the club, he said: "This is what many clubs in Europe are doing now, and it is also the trend in the future, we have seen what newcastle has changed after being acquired by the Saudi side." “
