FC Barcelona has announced a major financial maneuver to refinance a significant portion of its “Espai Barça” debt, issuing €424 million in bonds just days before the end of its fiscal year. This new arrangement, made with long-time financial partner Goldman Sachs, extends the repayment timeline from an initial deadline of 2028 to a much longer horizon ending in 2050.
The bonds represent approximately 40 percent of the debt incurred from the Espai Barça project, which includes the renovation of the Camp Nou and surrounding infrastructure. The refinancing will carry an average cost of 5.19 percent annually, translating to an approximate interest outlay of €22 million across the full term.
