Barcelona have sold another 15 percent of their domestic TV rights to American investment firm Sixth Street, the LaLiga club announced.
The 25-year deal is valued at £272m and means Sixth Street have now acquired 25 per cent of Barca’s LaLiga TV rights after a £176m deal for 10 per cent was announced last month.
The investments are part of the club’s strategy to emerge from the financial crisis after heavy losses in recent years.
Club President Joan Laporta said, “We are continuing our strategy and are pleased to have entered into this additional agreement with Sixth Street, which gives us a significant increase in our capital strength.
“Over the past few weeks, we and Sixth Street have engaged and worked together with a shared understanding of what we want to achieve for our organization, and we look forward to our long-term partnership.”
Despite their financial situation, the Catalan club have signed Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and Raphinha ahead of the upcoming season.
