Bar\u00e7a continues to reap the benefits of La Masia in the market. In the last two years, the club has made \u20ac57.7 million from sales<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona maintains a firm policy regarding talent trained at La Masia<\/strong>. Those youth players who manage to establish themselves in the elite will be non-transferable until each one asks to leave and arrives at the club’s offices with an acceptable offer.<\/p>

In the case of footballers who do not manage to secure a place in Bar\u00e7a, the idea of the board is to get the maximum possible benefit from their transfers<\/strong>. At least that has been the case in the last two years, a position strengthened after Deco’s arrival as sporting director last summer.<\/p>

Two of the most profitable operations closed so far were the transfers of Chadi Riad (Crystal Palace) and Ez Abde (Betis)<\/strong>. Bar\u00e7a received 16.5 million for both (9 M\u20ac for the centre-back, 7 for the winger), although the ‘Verdiblanco’ striker can still leave a ‘pinch’ for a future transfer, since the ‘cul\u00e9s’ retain 20% of his card.<\/p>

The last of the list of youth players to leave profits to the club was \u00c1lex Valle<\/strong>. As planned, Como of Italy exercised the purchase option for 6 million euros<\/a> that included his loan, matching the amount that Chelsea paid last summer for Marc Guiu.<\/p>

In the past winter market, Unai Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> did the same by accepting the offer from Al Ittihad Saudi, with which the ‘Azulgrana’ team invoiced 5 net ‘kilos’. Also in 2024, Estanis Pedrola<\/strong> left 3 M\u20ac in the ‘cul\u00e9s’ coffers with his transfer to Sampdoria.<\/p>

The striker, yes, can still generate more income, since the club owns 50% of his rights and, with ‘Samp’ in Serie B, his departure to another team in the First Division seems certain.<\/p>

Nico Gonz\u00e1lez, the most profitable operation for Bar\u00e7a since Deco’s arrival<\/h2>

However, the youth player who has given the best income to Bar\u00e7a in recent years is Nico Gonz\u00e1lez. The Galician midfielder left for Porto in the summer of 2023 in exchange for 8.3 million euros fixed<\/strong>, but the club reserved 40% of a future sale.<\/p>

Last January, Manchester City put 60 ‘kilos’ to take him to England<\/strong> and the Portuguese team, to avoid losing 20.6 M\u20ac of the operation, exercised a clause in Nico’s contract that allowed him to acquire an extra 20% of his sports rights.<\/p>

Finally, Bar\u00e7a received an extra compensation of 12.7 million, raising the earnings for the one from A Coru\u00f1a to 21.2 ‘kilos’<\/a>. Gonz\u00e1lez arrived at the ‘Azulgrana’ academy in 2016 and played one year on loan at Valencia before leaving for Portugal. His transfer, yes, was closed even with Mateu Alemany at the head of the sports management.<\/p>

The last youth players who have left benefits to Bar\u00e7a<\/strong><\/p>

  1. Nico Gonz\u00e1lez (Porto): 21.2 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  2. Chadi Riad (Betis): 9 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  3. Ez Abde (Betis): 7.5 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  4. Marc Guiu (Chelsea): 6 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  5. \u00c1lex Valle (Como): 6 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  6. Unai Hern\u00e1ndez (Al Ittihad): 5 M\u20ac<\/li> \t
  7. Estanis Pedrosa (Sampdoria): 3 M\u20ac<\/li> <\/ol>

    Total ‘cul\u00e9s’ earnings<\/strong>: 57.7 million euros.<\/p>

    In addition, Bar\u00e7a can still generate extra income for up to 14 players<\/strong> with whom the club has reserved sports rights. With this, it can approach 100 ‘kilos’ in earnings, with the transfer of Jean-Clair Todibo to West Ham<\/strong> being the operation that, in the short term, should leave better dividends in the Catalan coffers (8.7 M\u20ac).<\/p>
