For the current FC Barcelona, the main reason for the team's predicament is that they are in huge debt and in financial crisis, and if the team wants to remain competitive, it must bring in reinforcements. But the team has no funds, how to solve it? Now there is only one way, and that is to cash out some of the team's players with higher market value.
Let's take a look at which players Barcelona can cash out to get their money back?
1. Raphinha: 27 years old, Brazilian striker, currently worth 50 million euros;
In July 2022, Raphinha joined FC Barcelona from Leeds United for 58 million euros;
Raphinha is currently in Barcelona for a season and a half has fully proved that he can not meet the expectations of the team management, the club has determined a timely stop loss, the current Barcelona management has a price tag of 80 million euros for Raphinha, this ** is a bit inflated, but including Newcastle United, Chelsea, Arsenal and other clubs are very interested in Raphinha, now look at the final ** game, this transfer deal can bring at least more than 50 million euros to the Barcelona club.
2. Ferran Torres: 23 years old, Spanish striker, currently worth 35 million euros;
In January 2022, Ferran Torres joined FC Barcelona from Manchester City for 55 million euros;
Ferran Torres's performance in Barcelona has always disappointed the team management, and the Spanish star they bought can only serve as a substitute for the team, which obviously cannot satisfy the club management, cashing out Ferran Torres has always been an option for Barcelona management, but there is really no suitable **, in the summer of 2023, the team had a price tag of 45 million euros for Ferran Torres, but unfortunately no team was willing to take over in the end. Torres could be a bargaining chip to buy out Felix or Cancelo, a transfer deal that could bring in at least more than €40 million for FC Barcelona.
3. Araujo: 24 years old, Uruguayan central defender, currently worth 70 million euros;
In August 2018, Araujo joined FC Barcelona from Boston River for 4.7 million euros;
Araujo is the core player of the future team circled by Barcelona management, but he is also the most valuable Barcelona player on the market at present, and Bayern Munich has **70 million euros, but Barcelona has refused**. But this deal could be a good option for the current FC Barcelona, which could bring in at least more than €80 million in benefits.
4. De Jong: 26 years old, Dutch midfielder, currently worth 80 million euros;
In July 2019, De Jong joined FC Barcelona from Ajax for 86 million euros;
De Jong has always been the biggest knot in the heart of FC Barcelona, staying can be used as the core, and selling can be cashed out in large sums, but the player is just unwilling to leave, and the super contract left by the former chairman makes the club management very helpless. With the current financial situation of FC Barcelona, it really can't afford to support De Jong, depending on how the team negotiates the transfer with the player, this transfer deal can bring at least more than 80 million euros to FC Barcelona.
If you can cash out the above four, you can bring at least 2With revenues of more than 3.5 billion euros, this is very important for FC Barcelona in a financial crisis, and the team can continue to strengthen the squad to remain competitive.
