Faus explains €600M breakdown of new Barcelona stadium plans

Barcelona finance chief Javier Faus says it'll take €600 million to build the new Nou Camp.

Faus explained that the project will be financed primarily through the club's own resources and will not affect the football team's budget.

"It will be financed over eight years(2016-2024) and will oblige us to continue managing the Club in a sustainable way," he said.

"We will not mortgage a whole generation of Barça fans to pay for this project. We have decided against any big contributions from members or from organisations outside of the Club. This implies that the Club can continue to manage itself in a sustainable way."

Faus explained there was an option for a company to have title rights to the stadium for 20 or 25 years which could bring in €150 million. Another €50 million could be gained from letting out spaces to hotels and shops.
