Barcelona issued a statement on Thusday after voting against La Liga’s €2.2 billion deal with investment fund CVC Capital Partners.
The Catalans, Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and an “unnamed LaLiga 2 club” voted against the deal, while 38 teams voted in favor of the agreement.
The deal means 10% of the league’s business will be sold to CVC. La Liga reckons that 90% of the money received will go to clubs, women’s football as well as semi-professional and non-professional football, according to ESPN.
Barca and president Joan Laporta had already made their stance clear on the deal but have now released an update.
