In a shocking move that’s sending shockwaves through the football world, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is reportedly considering a mind-bloggling €10 billion offer to buy Barcelona. The move aligns with Saudi Arabia’s aggressive sports investment strategy, led by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which already owns Newcastle United.
Barcelona’s crippling €2.5 billion debt makes them an attractive target, but there’s a major hurdle: the club is owned by socios (members) who elect the president and control key decisions. Experts say a full takeover is “virtually impossible” under current rules—foreign investors can’t dictate operations. Joan Laporta, Barcelona’s president, hasn’t commented on the rumors.
