Joan Laporta earlier mentioned the project in his speeches. However, the financial debts were a supposed retrain in the project but that seems to be now cleared.
Barcelona will be back at Camp Nou to play the games from the 2024/25 season. However, this will only be possible if the seating capacity will be available by up to 50%.
