00:00You know that feeling when you find a forgotten bill in your pocket?
00:04Money you weren't counting on.
00:06A nice little gift, right?
00:08Well, that's exactly what happened to Barcelona at the end of this transfer window.
00:12The club received a surprise windfall thanks to Nico Gonzalez's transfer to Manchester
00:17City.
00:18Guardiola's team wrapped up a big spending window, paying $62 million to Porto for the
00:24midfielder.
00:25But here's the catch.
00:26When Barca sold Nico, they kept 40% of the future profit from a resale.
00:31That meant an expected income of $20.6 million.
00:34However, Porto bought back half of that percentage for $3.1 million, cutting Barcelona's profit
00:41down to 20% of the transfer.
00:44Final earnings for Barca.
00:4610.6 masts from the 20% resale clause, 3.1 ante from selling the other 20%, $13.7 million
00:54total.
00:55Not bad for unexpected money, especially with Barca's financial struggles.
