Barcelona Selling Bits of Camp Nou Grass to Raise Funds for Renovation

• Barcelona closed Camp Nou at the end of last season for renovations
• The facelift is expected to cost the Spanish club a massive £1.2 billion
• The club are now selling sections of Camp Nou grass to boost the kitty

La Liga giants, Barcelona, are reportedly selling bits of Camp Nou grass in order to raise funds for the stadium's renovation.

The Catalan side are understood to be ready to splash an eyewatering £1.2 billion to give their home a fresh look in the future.

According to Goal, Barca are facing severe financial issues that are limiting their ability to upgrade the facility.

The publication reports that the Spanish side, who are currently playing their home games at Estadi Olimpic Luis Companys, are expected to return to Camp Nou in 2025/26.

Their current home ground has a capacity of 54,000, almost half of what the iconic stadium is able to hold.

Barcelona selling Camp Nou grass

The European giants have now taken a somewhat bizarre direction in their bid to raise more funds to facilitate the facelift at Camp Nou.

Sportbible reports that the club are offloading portions of the turf at a fee via their website.

The costliest segments are presented in a wooden frame going for £360. The cheapest option comes in a neat scale model for £43, while a methacrylate version costs £69.

Meanwhile, the Xavi-tutored side have endured their fair share of struggles on the pitch, with the side currently placed third in the La Liga standings with 41 points, seven points off top-placed Real Madrid.

Barcelona will be back in action on Thursday night when they will play Osasuna in the semi-final of the Supercopa de Espana and will need to turn their season around.

Xavi sets unwanted record with Girona defeat

Sports Brief previously reported that Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez set an unwanted record for the club following the defeat against Girona.

The loss condemned the 43-year-old to a horrible win percentage, worse than that of Quique Setien and only bettered by Ronaldo Koeman's shambolic run.
