FC Barcelona will receive a good sum of money in this winter transfer window. Nico Gonzalez, midfielder formed at the Masia, will bring back several million to the Blaugranas thanks to his imminent transfer to Manchester City. Currently FC Porto player, Nico is about to join the Citizens for an amount of € 60 million. When he left for Portugal in the summer of 2023, Barça had intelligently negotiated a clause guaranteeing 40% of the capital gain on a future sale. With this transfer, the Catalan club will receive 20.64 million euros, a significant amount for its finances.
This transfer represents a particularly profitable operation for FC Barcelona, which had sold it to Porto for only € 8.44 million. In addition to strengthening the workforce of Pep Guardiola, who was looking for an environment pending Rodri's return, this market on the market confirms the importance of resale clauses in the economic strategy of the training clubs. For Barça, it is a fine example of valuation of a player from his training center, despite his premature departure.
