The Croatian champions will not consider selling Dominguez for less than \u20ac14 million. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ca-osasuna-v-fc-barcelona-la-liga-ea-sports-1024x721.jpg\" alt=\"Sergi Dominguez of FC Barcelona\" class=\"wp-image-201266\"  \/>Sergi Dominguez could leave Dinamo Zagreb. (Photo by Juan Manuel Serrano Arce\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 20-year-old Spanish defender is under contract with the club until 2029, giving them a strong negotiating position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona sold the defender to Dinamo Zagreb for \u20ac1.2 million, but crucially negotiated a clause entitling them to 20 percent of any future capital gain generated by his sale.<\/p>\n<p>A potential windfall for Barcelona<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Dinamo Zagreb were to sell Dominguez for their asking price, Barcelona would stand to receive approximately \u20ac2.8 million through the future sell-on clause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to that, the Catalan club would also benefit from FIFA\u2019s training compensation mechanism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having developed the defender at La Masia between 2020 and 2025, Barcelona would be entitled to receive an estimated \u20ac270,000 in training compensation should a transfer take place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779539291_236_fc-barcelona-v-rayo-vallecano-laliga-ea-sports-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bojan and Deco, Barcelona executives\" class=\"wp-image-179832\"  \/>A possible windfall awaits Barcelona. (Photo by David Ramos\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Combined, the deal could generate close to \u20ac3 million for the Catalan club.<\/p>\n<p>Dinamo under no pressure to sell<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dinamo Zagreb believe Dominguez still has significant room for development and expect his market value to continue rising if he enjoys another season of regular first-team football.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With no immediate financial need to sell, the Croatian club can afford to be patient and reject offers that fail to meet their valuation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Barcelona, the situation is one to watch closely. While they no longer control the player\u2019s future, any significant transfer could provide an unexpected financial return thanks to the clauses negotiated when Dominguez left La Masia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former La Masia product Sergi Dominguez\u2019s future could end up providing FC Barcelona with an unexpected financial boost&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,223,8756],"class_list":["post-54620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-sergi-dominguez"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
