The choice of Limak for the remodelling of the Camp Nou caused astonishment in the construction sector. The Turkish company stood out from the other bidders because it promised to shorten deadlines and carry out the work at a very affordable price. While the Spanish construction companies asked for 1.3 billion euros, Limak committed in writing to less than 1,000. A very sweet treat that President Joan Laporta gladly accepted, and which, for Limak, meant his gateway to Western Europe.
