Barcelona looking to cross the €100 million mark in sales this summer

Barcelona have been active in the summer transfer window in terms of both arrivals and departures, and it is clear that they have already made meaningful upgrades to the dressing room.

Karim Adeyemi and Anthony Gordon are the big-name attacking signings of the club’s summer so far, and Rodri is soon expected to join that list.

Such marquee arrivals, however, would have been impossible without some big sales and Barcelona have already grossed close to €70 million in direct profits from departures this summer including the sale of Ferran Torres.

As reported by SPORT in a recent update, Barcelona do not intend to slow down in any capacity and have an idea of crossing €100 million in sales this summer. After all, it will help balance their books.

Of the €70 million so far, Torres’ transfer alone will amount to a profit of €40 million for the club once officialised. The next biggest contributor is Ansu Fati whose departure cleared €11 million.

Jofre Torrents left the club for Ajax for a fee of €5.5 million with 50% of his rights sold while Jan Virgili’s transfer from Mallorca to Club Brugge yielded the club 40% of the €12 million fee, amounting to €4.8 million.

Among other notable departures are those of Inaki Pena for €3 million, Aaron Yakobishvili for around €2.5 million and Dani Rodriguez for €1.5 million.

Beyond the players who have already left, there are several academy talents who are seen as saleable by the club, and quick moves are expected in the coming days.

Hector Fort, Marc Casado, Tommy Marques, Guille Fernandez and Toni Fernandez are all seen to be prospects for whom the club will open the door, likely with some form of control over their futures included.

Casado’s transfer alone is expected to yield €30 million, and that can help the club hit the €100 million mark.

Further, there have been rumours of potentially selling Jules Kounde, and that operation could prove financially massive as well.
