Barça Earns from Nico Transfer

Nico González, who came through Barcelona's youth system before later joining Manchester City, has been transferred to Newcastle for 58 million euros. According to FIFA's solidarity program, FC Barcelona will receive 5% of this transfer fee, approximately 2.9 million euros, as compensation for developing the player during his formative years between ages 12 and 23.

This adds to Barça's growing revenue from former players, with the club continuing to benefit financially from the success of players nurtured in their academy system. catcross.biz
