Barcelona are exploring innovative ways to generate income this summer, with a strategy focused on earning around €30 million through indirect transfers, as reported by SPORT.
This approach will be crucial for the club to overcome the financial challenges it faces and participate in the transfer market without restrictions.
The Catalan giants aim to achieve the 1:1 financial fair play rule by implementing several measures. To this end, a significant push is expected from the players whose transfer rights the club still partially owns.
Players who can generate income
The club will already receive 8 million euros for the sale of Jean Clair Todibo to West Ham United.
The French defender is currently on loan at Nice and the English club has a mandatory purchase clause worth 40 million euros. Of this amount, 20% will go directly to Barcelona’s finances, offering a solid start towards their €30 million target.
Another promising deal involves Oscar Minguezawhich has aroused the interest of RB Leipzig. The German club are reportedly willing to activate their €20 million release clause, with Barcelona entitled to 50% of the fee.
Since Mingueza is not part of Barcelona’s future plans, the club is optimistic about closing this deal soon.
In the Portuguese market, Barcelona could benefit from sales that represent Nico Gonzalez and Francisco Trincao.
Nico has aroused the interest of Liverpool and Aston Villa, with a termination clause of 60 million euros. Barcelona own 40% of his rights and are open to facilitating his move as they do not plan to activate their €25m buyback option, which expires this summer.
What about the rest?
Similarly, Trincao’s performances at Sporting Lisbon have caught the attention of big clubs, including Bayern Munich.
Barcelona will retain 50% of any future sales, making it a potentially lucrative opportunity. Although Sporting are interested in extending the winger’s contract, a significant offer could boost his transfer.
Additional revenue is expected from Ilaix Moribawho will probably join Celta permanently. The Galician club intends to exercise its purchase option of 8 million euros, of which Barcelona will receive 10%, for an amount of 800,000 euros.
Finally, Barcelona could benefit this is abde and Victor Roque. The club owns 50% of Abde’s rights and his rising market value has sparked interest from European clubs and Saudi Arabia.
Meanwhile, Betis has the option to buy Vítor Roque for 25 million euros and Barcelona keeps 20% of his rights.
This indirect transfer income reflects Barcelona’s ingenuity as it strives to stabilize its financial position and prepare for the next transfer window.
