The blaugrana club agreed with the ‘sky blue’ to pay in four installments, deferring the first at the end of the season
The culé entity has made effective 13.75 million of the fixed and the proportional part of the variables
FC Barcelona has already paid Manchester City the first installment of the signing of Ferran Torres, according to information revealed by journalist Reshad Rahman on his official twitter account. The Blaugrana club would have transferred 13.75 million, corresponding to a quarter of the 55 million agreed for the transfer. To this should be added the corresponding part of the variables.
The economic difficulties that Barça was going through during the last winter market led to negotiating the transfer payment in four installments, transferring the first of them to the month of July. And the Blaugrana club has complied with what was agreed with Manchester City.
In recent days, Barça has finalized the sale of ten percent of the television rights to ‘Sixth Street’ for 207.5 million, which will end up reporting a capital gain of 267 ‘kilos’. And the Blaugrana club is still finalizing a second operation that would allow it to undo all the operations it has pending in this summer market. It is about the sale of 15 percent of the television rights, which would complete the 25 percent approved by the compromisers. This second operation could leave up to 400 ‘kilos’ in the coffers.
Barça, then, has found the liquidity it needed to pay off the debt and return to compete in the market. And of course, also to face his commitments, such as the payment of the transfer of Ferran Torres.
The Blaugrana club closed the deal with Manchester City in exchange for a fixed 55 million that could increase to 65 depending on certain variables. The English club accepted that the payment be in four installments, deferring the first at the end of the current season.
