FC Barcelona has strengthened its financial position by securing €105 million via a new bond issuance that was fully subscribed in less than two hours.
This operation represents a significant step in the club's long-term financial strategy led by President Joan Laporta. Strong demand, more than twice the amount offered, came from a select group of US institutional investors, including insurance companies, investment funds, and pension funds.
The bonds, carrying a fixed coupon rate of 5.14%, will mature in October 2036. Goldman Sachs acted as the lead manager and placement agent for the transaction.
The club highlighted improved market conditions compared to its previous bond issuance. The spread demanded by the market decreased from 240 to 202 basis points, indicating a more favorable risk perception and increasing confidence in Barcelona's financial project.
This additional liquidity and reduced market risk provide a favorable foundation for the club's stable financial growth and support its sporting and commercial plans in the coming years.
