The cataclysmic drama and furore over a European Super League brought Barcelona\u2019s finances to a much wider audience that had not been previously privy to the full extent of the problems plaguing the LaLiga giants.<\/p>\n
In the weeks following Joan Laporta\u2019s triumphant comeback as president of the Catalan club for his second tenure, there\u2019d been a resurgence of optimism around Camp Nou, and the signing of Borussia Dortmund\u2019s Erling Haaland was even touted as a vibrant possibility.<\/p>\n
However that quickly receded in the days following the collapse of the ESL, and it\u2019s even been questioned whether the La Liga side can afford to keep Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou beyond the end of this season when his contract runs out.<\/p>\n
New investment is clearly needed, and El Chiringuito\u00a0now report Laporta is on the verge of securing a \u20ac500m sponsorship boost for Barcelona. Although there\u2019re no firm details on what that will cover, it\u2019s claimed such a deal would allow the club to renew Messi\u2019s contract, besides providing money to sign Neymar from PSG.<\/p>\n
It again feels like an optimistic inclination on things at the Barca camp, and the coming weeks will see whether this is realistic or just another of the Blaugranas\u2019 dreams of solving Barcelona\u2019s financial problems.<\/p>\n
