Income and costs: balance of the signings of the FC Barcelona 2014-15

The market of signings of the FC Barcelona is about to to close, but during the last weeks has suffered big changes. To the signings of Marc-André Ter Stegen, Ivan Rakitic, Claudio Bravo, Luis Suárez, Jeremy Mathieu and Thomas Vermaelen it is necessary to add the arrivals of Gerard Deulofeu and Rafinha Alcántara, two young promises with win to show that they can turn into the "cracks" of the future, and the promotion to the first team of the guardameta Jordi Masip. This week, besides, has closed the signing of Douglas Pereira, that closes the section of high in the staff. Regarding Deulofeu, however, will not dress the elastic Barcelona until the next course.

Regarding economic terms, the FC Barcelona has spent 157 million euros -18 by Rakitic, 12 by Bravo, 12 by Ter Stegen, 81 by Luis Suárez, 20 by Mathieu, 10 by Vermaelen (more 3,75 in variables) and 4 1,5 by Douglas- in these seven signings, whereas it has ingresado 33 3 millions with the sale of Cesc Fábregas to Chelsea, 42,5 more with the one of Alexis Sánchez, 1,5 by Jonathan Two Saints to the Villarreal (more half million in function of variables), and 1,8 millions more by the traspaso of Bojan Krkic to the Southampton. In total, 78,8 million euros. Therefore, the Club has spent 78,45 million euros in signings during the pre-season. Although, as it remembers the club, "the difference between the income and the costs, is not to 100%. The variables, wages and amortizaciones are not reflected in the document".

From here it is necessary to base in speculations, but the true is that the FC Barcelona wished traspasar until does very little to Dani Alves by at least 12 million euros, to Alex Song by 10 and to Afellay by at least 2 "kilos" more. It does few weeks left with the letter of freedom, besides, Oier Olazábal (Granada) and Isaac Cuenca (Sportive), whereas by the traspaso of Jonathan Two Saints to the Villarreal could ingresarse little less than 2 million euros -although they are not safe-. At the end, the reality is that Alves remains , Song will leave yielded and Afellay has gone to the Olympiakos also without leaving neither an only euro in the arks barcelonistas.

Therefore, it seems that finally ingresarán 78,8 million euros by sales, that joined to the 120 million euros that Josep Maria Bartomeu ensured that the FC Barcelona can spend this summer in signings increase the figure until the 198,5 million euros, the Barcelona limit for fichar. For the moment they have spent 162 of these 198,5 "kilos". Once fichado Luis Suárez and the second head office, the only aim in wallet was Juan Guillermo Square, that could have cost around 40 million euros. Finally, nevertheless, the Barça decanted by the alternative of Douglas Pereira, much more economic that the arrival of the Colombian.

The club has spent therefore 157 million the 198,5 "kilos" of which had, leaving a margin of manoeuvre very high -of 41,5 millions- although it does not foresee that they arrive more signings. It is very possible that the Barça have to remain two periods of complete signings without being able to attend to the market, but from the club are optimistic and think that there is staff of leftovers to face all the challenges of the two next seasons. In extreme case, besides, young promises like Munir The Haddadi, Adama Traoré, Sergi Samper, Álex Grimaldo and Sandro Ramírez come bidding strong.
