Spanish giants Barcelona will earn €5 million by playing a friendly against FC Bunyodkor in Uzbekistan in May next year.

Spanish newspaper Marca says Barcelona have agreed to the deal that will see them earn €5 million, compared to the €2 million they earned from their US tour this year.

The Catalan side was also set to receive €2 million for a friendly in Saudi Arabia, but the match was cancelled.

The goal for the friendly is to promote football in Uzbekistan.

Barcelona has already received around €3 million and will receive the remaining €2 million when the match has been played.

FC Bunyodkor managed to make a sensational signing signing this summer when former Barcelona ace Rivaldo joined the club.
