The project is expected to cost the club a whopping €600 million and will increase the capacity of the stadium to 105,000.
The plans also include implementing a roof, building a new Palau Blaugrana and regenerating areas around the stadium
Barca will fund the project but president Josep Maria Bartomeu said the huge cost would not affect their ability to sign players.
“The Espai Barca has its own economic independence,” he said
”It will be financed by naming rights and other types of investment. It will not interfere with the management of the club. We can still make signings.”
