Barcelona finances
The club's official statement, as reported by Sportal, indicates that with the assistance of Goldman Sachs, Barcelona has successfully converted, through the existing financial structure, €424 million of debt used for the construction of the new stadium (originally maturing in 2028) into a new structure with maturities between 2033 and 2050.
“The average cost of the refinanced amount is 5.19%. This operation demonstrates the strong demand that the club generates among financial investors, as well as the positive trend in the organization's financial status, reducing the risk premium by almost half compared to the initial issuance in 2023,” the club stated.

The club reiterated that this is further evidence of the recent announcement by the rating agency Morningstar DBRS, which confirmed the change in rating from "stable" to "positive," reflecting Barcelona's financial recovery and its ability to meet its obligations to creditors.
