Barcelona considering alternative continental options in the event of Champions League ban

Barcelona are currently facing two investigations into the Caso Negreira case, with the Spanish Anti-Corruption department and UEFA both looking into allegations of match-fixing. While Barcelona have denied any wrongdoing, the potential for a Champions League ban looms, and the club is already exploring alternative options.

According to reports, Barcelona has been exploring the possibility of playing in competitions in other continents, with a particular focus on Asia. This move would primarily be in the event of a UEFA ban, with the club potentially seeking entry into the Asian Champions League.

While a move to another European league is also being considered, it would require a vote from the members, making it a more complicated option. However, if the club were to face demotion as a result of the investigation, playing in a different league could be a viable solution to save the club’s finances.

It’s worth noting that the investigations are still ongoing, and Barcelona maintains its innocence. If found guilty, however, the club could face a ban from the Champions League, making it imperative for the club to consider alternative options. While these investigations could last for several months or even years, the club is actively preparing for all possible outcomes.
