expects to get an additional 40 million euro from an investor, as part of one of their so-called financial levers.
The club expected the money to come from a German company called Libero, but for whatever reason, it did not come as quickly as expected. There was disagreements about when the payment was supposed to come through.
This disagreement led to Joan Laporta and some board members having to sign a bank guarantee, putting their own money at risk, in order to register signings when the transfer window was closing.
The club is unhappy with Libero and are negotiating the payment.
