Ex-Barcelona finance chief Castells questions stadium funding

Former Barcelona finance chief Joan Castells has questioned the viability of their new €600 million stadium.

Castells is unsure if the club is capable of self-funding the build.

"I don't know if it's necessary or whether the club can take on a €600 million investment," he remarked.

"It is a bold move when you consider the size of the investment, and not just in terms of the capacity of this investment to generate income.

I will think very carefully about it before voting yes. We're taking a big risk with the club's financial situation. The significant thing about the investment is that it is extremely substantial. I don't know if it is worth it."
