Million Rain at Barcelona Thanks to Player Discards

FC Barcelona has achieved a significant economic boost thanks to its strategy with players developed in La Masia. Despite not making any signings in the last transfer window, the board has managed to generate income through the sale of players who didn't have a place in the first team. In the past year and a half, the blaugrana entity has raised nearly €70 million from the departure of young talents who failed to establish themselves in the senior squad.

An income that greatly helps Barcelona's finances

The most recent case is that of Nico González, whose transfer to Manchester City has brought in €13.3 million to Barça's coffers. According to the newspaper Sport, the club had already received eight million when the midfielder signed for Porto in 2023, and now adds 20% of the capital gain from his sale to the 'citizens'. This business model has been pivotal in Barça's financial policy, enabling them to profit from players, most of whom didn't succeed at the Camp Nou.

In addition to Nico, the club earned €10 million from Mika Faye's move to Rennes, the same amount received for Julian Araujo's transfer to Bournemouth. They also gained nine million from Chadi Riad, six from Marc Guiu, five from Unai, and three from Estanis Pedrola. These operations were driven by Deco and his team, who have favored including percentages of future sales in each transfer, thus ensuring a long-term income source.
