Barcelona in contact with authorities to ensure Peru friendly in December goes ahead

As already reported, FC Barcelona are currently working towards playing a friendly match in Peru on December 22 – a game that could generate between €7 and €8 million in revenue for the club.

However, the logistical puzzle to go ahead with the match is proving to be a challenge for the Blaugrana.

As such, Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona have asked La Liga to play in Villarreal on December 20 and are in talks with the Spanish Footballers’ Association (AFE) regarding players’ holiday schedules.

The Blaugrana are eager to accept the proposal for the friendly in Peru, but must balance the scheduling of this exhibition match with the players’ Christmas break.
