Barcelona members approve sale of BLM and television rights

Barcelona members voted through the club’s two “financial levers” at an extraordinary assembly held at the club on Thursday.

The first ‘lever’ to authorize was the sale of a 49.9% stake in Barça Licensing & Merchandising which it’s hoped will bring in revenue of between €200m-€300m.

Members voted it through with 568 in favour, 65 against the sale and 13 people abstaining.

Barca will retain control of BLM as they are only selling 49.
