Joan Laporta returned to the presidency of the FC Barcelona does already two summers. The Catalan lawyer won again the elections after his successful stage, especially during the first decade of this century in which it added two Champions League for the entity, in addition to trusting Pep Guardiola to do surely the best team in the history of the culés.

However, the situation of the Barça has been very distinct for this stage of the club regarding the economic, something that logically has had repercussion in the sportive attainments that can or not achieving the team on the field. Thus, this presidency of Laporta has to value from what has been able to achieve regarding beneficial operations for the Barcelona project, so much in signings as in sales or exits.

The Barça has not spent too much but yes has fichado big players

In the first section, and as the reviewed by the skilled web in market, 'Transfermarkt', the Barça has invested from the summer of 2021 a total of 231 million euros. In this list, and without an order in particular, it is necessary to review big movements of market like the one of Robert Lewandowski or Jules Koundé, two footballers of immediate performance and that gave a jump of important quality to the staff, doing special quotation also to the future arrival of Vitor Roque in the next months.

Both footballers did a big effort to arrive to the Barça and showed again to the European panorama that the Catalan entity could compete by big players. Still with something less than performance showed also has to include to Ilkay Gündogan, the one who left to happen a lot of 'paste' to arrive free to the Barça this summer, something that in 2022 also had done Andreas Christensen, a name that has been an authentic tarpaulin of the sportive direction.

Operations very profitable for the accounts of Laporta

Four signings that until the moment have stood out above the rest, where also there was big tarpaulins from the economic as with Memphis, Aubameyang or Kessié, all footballers that arrived free and finished going out to leave some millions in box. The others 6 more stood out operations, equally without an order in particular, come of the exits that the Barça has attained to achieve.

And it is that in the last two years only Frank Of Jong, Ter Stegen, Iñaki Crag, Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araújo and Gavi permanencen in the Barça. By the consequent has to stand out the sale of Dembélé this summer to the PSG, always taking into account that in 2022 could leave free and that in 2024 would present a similar situation afterwards that it renewed by an alone season.

The Barça centred in freeing of agreements that did not contribute at all for the project

Likewise it has to rescue the operation that carried again to Antoine Griezmann to the Athletic of Madrid, especially by the saving that supposed in wage his course, freeing an important quantity of 'fair play' financial. In a very similar scale also is the exit of Samuel Umtiti this summer, taking into account that it was a player that did not explain and accepted to negotiate the rescission of his agreement according to some payments that the club could ensure him.

For the others three operations the situations have been something similar to the last two, giving priority to the saving of index cards before that it ingresado by signings. Thus it also has to go in the sale of Coutinho to the Aston Villa, by almost 20 million euros and closing like this one of the operations in the history of the club. Equally it has to be highlighted the sale of Emerson Royal in 2021, which left 10 'kilos' of gain in question of weeks and the exit of two too big agreements for what could contribute as they were the ones of Pjanic and Martin Braithwaite.
