"According to a recent report from SPORT, FC Barcelona are in the final stages of negotiations to play a friendly match in Peru this December. The proposal on the table is said to be financially irresistible, especially after the club's earlier plans to play in Miami against Villarreal fell through. That particular fixture was expected to bring in approximately €6 million, so the new opportunity comes at an ideal time for the club's finances."
""If Barcelona ends up moving up the paperwork, the December match would be against the Peruvian national team. "It's not a FIFA date. I understand that the plan is to play against the Peruvian national team. There would be some names that we could see," he wrote. Barcelona are negotiating directly with a wealthy Peruvian businessman who is keen on bringing the Catalan giants to Lima for the special fixture."
FC Barcelona is in advanced negotiations to play a December friendly in Lima, Peru. The match is being arranged directly with a wealthy Peruvian businessman and a production company that previously brought Inter Miami to Peru. The proposed fixture is financially attractive and arrives after a planned Miami match against Villarreal was canceled; that Miami game was expected to generate about €6 million. The likely venue is the National Stadium and most first-team players are expected to feature. Initial options included Universitario and Alianza Lima, but negotiations have focused on the Peruvian national team, which could use the non-FIFA-window fixture to test young prospects. Reported revenues are described as promising.
