According to a recent report, FC Barcelona was finally able to secure the loan they were looking for after Joan Laporta took the presidency.
After an extensive search, it appears FC Barcelona finally secured the loan they were looking for the upcoming season. With this money, they will be able to not only pay all the pending salaries but also make transfers and get Leo Messi to stay. The Argentine player’s future was still very much in the air before Joan Laporta won the club’s presidency. But their relationship is a major factor that drove him to make the possible decision to stay.
There hasn’t been a time in which Laporta didn’t deliver on his word to Messi in the past. Every time he set out to do something at the club, he always remained true to his honor. This is the reason not only Messi is happy he is the current president but the rest of the squad as well. According to Sport, Goldman Sachs is the firm that FC Barcelona had been negotiating with for the possible loan. Finally after three weeks of negotiations, the club reached an agreement for a massive payday.
How much did Goldman Sachs loan to FC Barcelona?
According to Sport, the loan Joan Laporta just secured for Barcelona goes up to €500 million that will serve for many purposes. At first, the idea is to use this money to sign new players and convince Messi to sign a new contract. The Argentine star has been linked to a possible exit from his club over the last year. This new deal between the club and the American trust fund firm should secure the club’s future.
If they announce it, Leo’s stay will be much closer than initially expected. Also, PSG would finally back off signing the Argentine star and perhaps look for another player such as Cristiano Ronaldo. This report also confirms that the money will be delivered before the end of the season on June 30. It seems Barcelona finally found a way out of their economic trouble in the short run.
