According to Diario Sport, Barcelona has adopted a different strategy this summer in handling La Masia academy players who cannot break into the first team. The club is selling them while retaining future resale percentages and including buy-back clauses for certain players.

Barcelona's handling of La Masia players during this transfer window has been quite notable. These players were unable to break into Hansi Flick's first team and could not continue playing for Barça Atlètic in the Primera Federación.

Most cases have been resolved as the transfer window approached its end. Although Flick was familiar with all the players, the German coach wanted to observe each one during preseason before making a final decision. Jofre, Tommy, Espart, Guille, Toni, and Álvaro Cortés all received his guidance at various stages. In fact, all of them except Guille Fernández made their first-team debuts under Flick.

Retaining Future Revenue Shares

The club explained from the outset that the primary goal was to complete transfers. Barcelona aims to generate revenue that will help meet financial fair play regulations and improve the club's financial situation while always maintaining control.

All deals include future resale percentages, which vary. Jofre, Toni, and Álvaro Cortés have 50% clauses, Guille has 40%, and Tommy's percentage is slightly lower.

Buy-back clauses are set according to the transfer fee. Braga paid 11 million euros for Tommy, with an additional 3 million euros in add-ons, so Barcelona did not include a buy-back clause. However, Barcelona retained buy-back options for Guille, Toni, and Jofre Torrents, all of which will be active from 2028 onwards, the second year after the transfer.

If the buying club is willing to pay a higher transfer fee, negotiations can begin. This is a principle established by the technical department led by Deco: the higher the transfer fee, the lower the future resale percentage retained by Barcelona.

Sport previously reported that Jofre Torrents' buy-back price is 14 million euros. The buy-back prices for Guille and Toni are also expected to range between 10 and 15 million euros.

The Catalan club holds high hopes for the development of all these players and also anticipates continued progress from Álvaro Cortés. He is arguably the most mature prospect at present, having become an undisputed starter at Royal Antwerp. He is destined to develop into a top-level professional player.
