Financial planning in Barcelona’s case for the future will not only revolve around the sales of current players this summer but also other players that have left the club in recent years, and whose financial rights can still be exploited via sell-on clauses, percentages, and buyback clauses.
The club, having retained financial rights on some young players in Europe, can benefit from this in future years in case they make huge transfers elsewhere.
Vitor Roque can be Barcelona’s biggest financial asset in the future
Vitor Roque is definitely among the key names in this respect. The Catalan side already sold 80% of the striker’s rights but will still earn 10% if he goes for less than €30 million, and 20% if that amount is exceeded. These figures can give Barça a significant financial boost.
Abde, Pablo Torre, and Mika Faye can bring income to Barcelona
Abde Ezzalzouli can also bring Barça some direct income, as the club keeps 20% of his rights despite him going to Real Betis.
Another name worth mentioning here is that of Pablo Torre since Barcelona holds a buy-back clause for the player along with a certain percentage of transfer fee.
Lastly, regarding Mika Faye, the club kept 30% of any profit from selling the player in the future. This number could prove crucial should the defender continue developing rapidly.
Barça also ensured its financial safety with many academy exits
Another fact about financial safety is that Barça is able to maintain several former academy players and youngsters with the help of sell-on percentages and unique clauses.
It was found out that the following percentages belong to the team:
1)50% plus the option to repurchase for Jan Virgili
2)A certain percentage of future sale of Noah Darvich
3)A small percentage for future sale of Sergiño Dest
3)20% for Sergio Domínguez's future transfer fees
3)A certain percentage of future sale for Trilli
4)50% rights on future transfers for Estanis Pedrola
5)50% of future transfer fee for Riqui Puig
6)15% of future transfer for Eman Kospo
How Barcelona is preparing for future transfer windows
In general, all of these examples show that Barcelona is trying to establish a new way of ensuring financial stability in the future.
With the club still working under financial restrictions, even indirect transfer income from former players could help Barcelona create additional salary margin and strengthen future transfer windows.
