Barcelona's plans to transform the Nou Camp in the next four years

Barcelona have released an animated time-lapse video showing how they plan to transform the Nou Camp while increasing its capacity to 105,000.

Work on the current stadium, which holds nearly 100,000 fans, is set to get underway during the 2017/18 season and is planned to be completed in the 2020/21 campaign.

The plans for the new Nou Camp were presented on Thursday, showing how it will be transformed without any disruption to matches.

The club say the new stadium will "boast a full range of services, fitting in perfectly with the surrounding Campus Barca -eliminating previous barriers to the neighbourhood and opening the facilities to the city via a new green space.

"The project will convert the current stadium into a brand new Camp Nou without a conventional facade and that will be serene, timeless, Mediterranean and democratic."
