FC Barcelona, like the rest of Europe, are going into the winter transfer window from tomorrow, but unlike most other major clubs, the Catalans will have to navigate their course in this window very carefully because of their FFP problems.
Vitor Roque has already arrived, but he is yet to be registered, and ideally, Barcelona would also want to add a midfielder in this window to replace Gavi.
However, a good midfielder can arrive only if the club’s coffers receive a significant boost from somewhere, and with the already thin squad, the Blaugranes have already ruled out any sales.
In such a context, the club may find some of its previously completed business deals to be beneficial. As Mundo Deportivo has noted, there are fifteen players that are no longer at Barcelona, but who can still bring some money to the club.
1: Juan Miranda
Miranda has been closely linked with Milan and can move this winter. FC Barcelona have a right to get 40% of any fee paid for him.
2: Ez Abde
FC Barcelona kept a 50% share on any future fee as the Moroccan winger was transferred to Real Betis last summer.
3: Ilaix Moriba
The Catalans have a right to get 10% of any fee paid for the Guinean midfielder who is currently playing for RB Leipzig.
4: Nico Gonzalez
Nico joined Porto last summer, but the Blaugranes have a €40 million buyback option on him, and also a right to 40% of any future transfer fee.
5: Francisco Trincao
Barcelona will get 50% of any fee paid for the Portuguese winger who currently plays for Sporting, and also have a progressive buyback option ranging from €20 to €25 million.
6: Jean Claire Todibo
The Catalan club has a right to 20% of any fee paid for him, which has been discussed fairly well in recent times as he closes in on a move to the Premier League.
7: Ferran Jutgla
Jutgla joined the Belgian club Bruges in 2022, but the Catalans kept a 10% right on any future capital gains on him.
8: Carles Alena
FC Barcelona have a 50% right on any future fee for the midfielder who joined Getafe in 2021, and also have an unspecified buyback option.
9: Oscar Mingueza
The defender joined Celta Vigo for free two seasons ago, but can now benefit Barcelona as the Catalans have a right to 50% of any fee obtained for him.
10: Alex Collado
Another player who joined Real Betis from Barcelona, but is currently on loan in Saudi Arabia. The Blaugranes have a 25-30% share on any future fee paid for him.
11: Riqui Puig
Like Mingueza, Puig also left Barcelona for free as he joined LA Galaxy in the MLS, but the Catalans have a 50% share on any future fee paid for him.
12: Junior Firpo
Barcelona got €15 million for him when he joined Leeds United in 2021, and will also get another 20% of the fee when the fullback transfers to another club.
13: Mika Mármol
The center-back joined Las Palmas last summer, but the Catalans still have 50% of the player’s rights.
14: Sergio Akieme
Almeria paid €3.5 million for him in 2021, and Barcelona will get another 10% of any future fee paid for him.
15: Konrad de la Fuente
The winger is currently owned by Marseille but is playing on loan at Eibar. Barcelona will get 50% of any fee when he gets permanently transferred in the future.
