Barcelona will be looking to move away from their current home Camp Nou in a bid to have increased seating capacity of 105,000.

The Camp Nou is already the biggest stadium in Europe with a capacity of 99,354.

But the board have been conducting studies regarding the possibility of adding more seats to the 56-year-old stadium or moving to a completely new stadium.

Board spokesman Toni Freixa explained on the club’s official website it had two choices: “The construction of a new stadium on the land on Diagonal, property which belongs to the University of Barcelona, or a profound remodelling project that would constitute a new stadium keeping the current structure of the Camp Nou.

“Both would have a capacity of 105,000 spectators, the stadium would be covered, there will be a construction of a new Palau with a capacity of 12,000 spectators, an adjacent court with a capacity of 2,000 spectators, 6,000 new parking spots and access to the Ciutat Esportiva of the Miniestadi.

Lionel Messi could be playing at a new stadium with Barcelona soon. “We’ve made advances, we have all the information, and we’re in a position to make a decision.”

The board of directors will make a decision on the issue early in 2014.
