As reported by Global Chronicle, Gerard Piqué was interested through his company Kosmos in the purchase of 49% of Barça Corporate, a conglomerate of four assets (Barça Licensing and Merchandising, Barça Studios, Barça Innovation Hub and Barça Academy) that develops activities for the purchase of products, audiovisual and digital content, scientific and technological research and club values. However, Josep Maria Bartomeu, president of the Barça entity, categorically ruled out that option because it would have meant a favorable deal with a club employee.
Nevertheless, Bartomeu did invite Piqué to be part of the meetings from which the offers came out to sell that 49% of Barça Corporate. They were carried out by the companies Abry Partners, Artros, Investindustrial and Fanatics. A few days ago, Joan Laporta, president of Barça, revealed that, although they could represent an injection of around 200 million, its Board of Directors was not clear that they were the best offers since it was given less value than Barça Studios has. and Barça Licensing.
