The deputy mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, has confirmed that F.C. Barcelona are in negotiations to rent out the Estadi Lluis Companys from the state.
With Camp Nou set to undergo heavy renovations in the coming seasons, President Joan Laporta wants the team to play at the Lluis Companys during the 2023-24 season while construction is underway.
The club see it as a low-cost alternative and Collboni made it clear that the council would not be charging a premium for the rent, as per Mundo Deportivo.
“We want things to go well for Barca, because when Barca are doing well, Barcelona does well. We’re making it easy and we – the council – should help the club as much as we can.”
