Overview

• Activist Marc Ciria delivered signatures seeking to place a vote on revoking the 2022 approval to sell up to 49% of Barça Licensing & Merchandising on Sunday’s telematic assembly agenda.
• Barcelona’s statutes require support from 3% of members with more than five years’ seniority, and the club has not yet validated whether the petition reaches that mark.
• Ciria said a response from the club could come within about 24 hours as verification proceeds ahead of the assembly.
• Of the 3,316 adhesions, 2,716 are handwritten and 600 are digital, raising questions because the statutes do not explicitly address digital signatures even though the assembly will be conducted remotely.
• The club projects BLM could generate roughly €200 million next fiscal year and says it currently has no intention to sell any stake, while Ciria urges the board to back the revocation.
