How Barcelona can generate millions through 14 former players | OneFootball

Barcelona have endured challenging financial years in recent times, but the team now seems stable enough to register everyone in their ranks.

Additionally, the club’s financial fair play situation appears to be improving, setting them up for a more flexible approach in the upcoming transfer window.

With this stability, the Blaugrana are now in a position to strengthen their squad while also keeping a close eye on potential financial gains from former players for whom they still hold rights.

Trincao and co.

One of the most significant cases is Francisco Trincao. Barcelona initially earned €10 million when he was transferred to Sporting CP, but they also retained 50% of any future sale.

The Portuguese winger, currently featuring prominently for Sporting, has a release clause set at €80 million.

If a Premier League club or another European side decides to trigger this clause, Barcelona could receive up to €40 million in additional income.

Another player who could bring financial benefits is Mika Marmol. The defender has a €10 million release clause, meaning Barcelona could earn €5 million if he secures a move.

Jean-Clair Todibo’s situation guarantees Barcelona a payout. West Ham United has a purchase obligation worth €40 million, which must be fulfilled in the summer.

Since Barcelona hold a 20% share in any future sale, they are set to receive €8 million once the deal is finalised.

In the case of Mikayil Faye, Barcelona retain a buy-back clause worth €25 million, as well as a 30% stake in any transfer profit.

He was linked with Bayer Leverkusen and Fenerbahce in the winter, making his potential departure a lucrative prospect for the Catalans.

Victor Roque’s future transfer from Palmeiras would also benefit Barcelona, as they hold 10% of the sale amount.

Similarly, Real Betis’ Ez Abde remains an interesting asset. Despite losing 20% of their future sale rights after Roque’s move, Barcelona still holds a 30% stake.

Another potential financial boost could come from Oscar Mingueza. Barcelona hold a 50% stake in any future transfer, and with Celta Vigo reportedly considering selling him for his €20 million release clause, the Blaugrana could earn €10 million.

As for Ilaix Moriba, Barcelona retained a 10% stake. He is currently performing well during his loan spell, and if Leipzig exercise their €4.5 million purchase option, Barcelona would receive €450,000.

Other players with potential financial returns include Ferran Jutgla, for whom Barcelona hold a 10% stake in any capital gains from a future sale.

Additionally, the club retains 50% of any future sales involving Riqui Puig, Estanis Pedrola, and Carles Alena.

Junior Firpo was another player who could have brought in revenue, as Barcelona had 20% of his future sale rights.

However, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, he could leave on a free transfer, meaning the club would not receive any financial return.

Lastly, Barcelona hold a 30% stake in Alex Collado’s future transfer fee. Should he secure a move in the near future, the Catalan club could earn a percentage of the deal.

With these potential earnings, Barcelona could generate significant funds to help reinforce their squad in the next transfer window while maintaining financial stability.

The club’s ability to capitalise on these clauses could play a key role in their ongoing rebuilding process.
