Barcelona are expected to register a number of their new summer signings this week after raising £85m from selling 24.5 per cent of Barca Studios to Orpehus Media – but it remains unclear whether it will be all of them.

The La Liga side is awaiting registration of Robert Lewandowski (£42.5m), Raphinha (£55m), Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, and Franck Kessie, all of whom joined during this transfer window, before their opening match at home against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

Despite signing new contracts, Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto are yet to be officially registered. Barcelona are also keen on completing the signing of Marcos Alonso from Chelsea, while Bernardo Silva of Manchester City is still a major target.

A club statement read: “The agreement complements the one signed on July 29 with Socios.com, and will help to accelerate the growth of the club’s digital, NFT and Web.3 strategy.

“The sale was conducted under authorisation of the General Assembly of FC Barcelona members last October 23.

“With this investment the strategic partners in Barça Studios show confidence in the value of the project and the future of digital content in the world of sport.”
