According to journalist Jose Alvarez from El Chiringuito, Barcelona is considering the possibility of transforming its organizational and legal structure, and Qatari or Saudi investors could acquire a stake in the club.
Currently, Barcelona is officially a non-profit organization, fully owned by its members – the socios.
According to reports, the Catalan club is exploring the option of selling a 49 percent stake in the club to a private investment fund in order to overcome financial difficulties.
In recent weeks, Barcelona President Joan Laporta has visited Saudi Arabia and is currently in Qatar.
