Spa has been trying to set up that sort of deal for a long time - since at least 2012, and I believe potentially even before that - so it's going to be interesting to see which other circuit has agreed to share races with them.

The speculation is mostly around Imola and Barcelona, which are both out of contract in the near future, as both venues are apparently still keen to hold races in the future. Barcelona does reportedly pay slightly more than Imola, so I can see FOM potentially favouring a deal with that venue, and I believe that Barcelona has explored race sharing deals in the past (it did consider a deal to alternate races with Valencia in the 2010s).
