Barcelona consider hosting Clasico with Real Madrid abroad
Barcelona are still uncertain of their exact return date to Camp Nou, as renovation work continues on their stadium. Having originally set a date for late November of 2024, their return date has been pushed back on three occasions already. It could have an impact on the final Clasico of the season, unless they meet in the latter stages of European competition.
Their licence for the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys has been extended with Barcelona City Council until the end of April to remain at Montjuic. However they are unable to prolong their stay up the magic mountain any further, as a series of concerts are planned for May.
Como were very close to reaching an agreement to sign Eric García earlier this week, but he's now decided to stay at Barcelona. His current position is to continue at the club after a new talk with Hansi Flick. @FabrizioRomano

Their next fixture, set for the weekend of the 11th of May, is El Clasico. Real Madrid will in theory visit Camp Nou with 60,000 fans returning to their home for the biggest game in the world. However given the uncertainty over the situation, Diario AS say that Barcelona are considering hosting the game abroad.
