Overview
- Reports from Spain say Barcelona now views a December match in Morocco as the most viable option due to same-day travel feasibility.
- AFE-mandated rest days and an early January league game against Espanyol complicate scheduling a longer trip to Lima in the December window.
- Club officials have consulted LaLiga, the Spanish federation and the players' union to verify Christmas vacation and rest requirements.
- Both proposals are described as financially strong, with the Peru offer reportedly worth about 7–8 million, and the intent is to accept both by playing Peru at a later date.
- A Peruvian journalist reports Barcelona asked for more time as it explores moving a Villarreal fixture, with a Lima friendly eyed for February 2026 if December proves unworkable.
