FC Barcelona are well aware of the economic problems ongoing within the club at the moment and the restrictive measures they must abide by. These restrictions exist in order to remain sustainable while also trying their best to resolve their sporting and financial concerns.

Some of their current players have pending transfer fees as well that are yet to be fully amortized. Keeping that in mind, Barcelona have even considered selling such players in order to balance out their books and get rid of such pending fees.

However, new alternatives to those amortizations are beginning to unveil themselves, with a recent one having been brought to light by the likes of Spanish outlet SPORT.

The report states that Mika Marmol, former FC Barcelona player and now a defensive guardian for Gerard Pique’s side, FC Andorra, is a vital piece that the Catalan club believes could help them subsidize the remaining amortizations of another key young asset.

The key talent in question is none other than 20-year-old midfielder Pedri, who Barcelona still have yet to pay around €4-5 million for to his former side, Las Palmas.

With the team from the Canary Islands interested in Mika Marmol as well, a player that Barcelona have reserved the right to bring back for exactly €1 million as well as maintain a 50% sell-on clause should he be sold to another side, the two clubs could decide on making a transfer happen which sees the player go to Las Palmas.

Consequently, Barcelona’s remaining balance for Pedri will be subsidized accordingly. However, if the Catalan club wishes to make use of the €1 million buy-back option they currently possess in regards to the 21-year-old central defender, they must act soon as the chance only stays intact until July according to the contractual agreement.
