Punishment in the form of her annual expulsion Barcelona from Europe her people demand UEFA who conducted research for Negreira caseThis is reported by the Spanish newspaper ABC.

Former Spanish referee and member of the referee commission of Spain, Enriques Negreirareportedly received almost 7,000,000 euros from 2001 to July 2018 from Barcelona.

The Catalan team claims that the money was set aside for an advisory role in arbitration cases.

UEFA investigators have called for Barça to be banned from European competition for a year until the case is resolved.

While optimism reigns within the club’s ranks about the club’s innocence, there are reports that there is a plan B in place in case there are sanctions eventually.

Specifically, Barcelona have begun research to find competitions outside of Europe where they could play in the event of a UEFA ban.

Bonds for Camp Nou

As a separate event, Barcelona issued bonds to finance the renovation of its Camp Nou stadium, agreeing to pay 6%-7.22% per annum depending on the maturity, more than originally expected, according to published data from the Vienna Stock Exchange.

The Spanish club said in April it had secured a €1.45 billion financing deal with investors including Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan that would allow it to refurbish its iconic stadium.

Camp Nou is the largest football stadium in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. 99,354 seats.
