We had the authorization from the assembly for 49% and we have done 25% with Socios.com. Barca Studios are the NFT, the Tokkens and the Metaverse of Barca. It is a sale forever, although it could be recovered in some way… But this is the entry of a new partner, socio.com, which commits 100 million euros. We understand that we do our homework and what it takes to achieve it, and therefore we will be able to register the players without problems. I am optimistic. Let’s hope that the League sees it that way too” said the Spaniard.Kounde ignored Chelsea because he only wanted to join BarcelonaBut that’s not the end. Well, maybe it is for the Barcelona properties, but on the transfer market, Laporta intends to be active in both ways. Believe it or not, they intend to sign more players. So far they have spent 143 million euros, but they still need a right-back and a left-back (Azpilicueta and Marcus Alonso?) and Bernardo Silva from Manchester City.„Bernardo Silva? First we have to register the players we have signed and that’s what we’re working on. Also resolve the futures of the players not in the manager’s plans. First we have to do that. After, we will see what we can do. The coach wants more reinforcements” said Laporta. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6534050##
