Espai Barça financing locks in 1.5B for Camp Nou redevelopment

HE Barcelona Football Club has closed a major financing package for Espai Barça, the ambitious plan to reshape the Camp Nou complex. The deal totals 1.5 billion euros in corporate bonds dedicated to the project, including the move to a new Olympic Stadium, Lluís Companys, for training and events. The agreement was finalized yesterday with the participation of Goldman Sachs, the US investment bank that has played a pivotal role in structuring the funding, just ahead of the Cup Clásico at Camp Nou in Barcelona. JP Morgan also led a financing strategy behind the scenes, with terms tailored to the risk appetite of each investor and the overall project timeline, according to El Confidencial and subsequent sources. These elements underscore a coordinated effort to secure long-term capital for a stadium and training complex renovation that fans hope will elevate the club’s commercial and sporting performance.
