    Reported €10bn Saudi bid for Barcelona clashes with club’s member-owned model

    FC Barcelona
    December 2025

    Reports in Spain claim Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is considering a staggering €10 billion offer to buy Barcelona, a figure that would wipe out the club’s huge debt burden and inject vast new capital, intensifying debate around state-backed football ownership.
