The Catalan club has announced expensive plans for the renovation of its stadium, but is still negotiating with a kit manufacturer and needs funds for the renewal of Neymar.
The popularity of Ladislao Kubala made the old stadium at Les Corts too small and half a century later, the appeal of Lionel Messi means something similar is happening again. But Barcelona will need to take risks to upgrade its Camp Nou home this time around.
Back in 1961, Barca sold its Spanish striker Luis Suarez to Inter in order to assume the costs of building the Camp Nou.
