(Photo courtesy: X\/FCBarcelona_es)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marques had previously been in contention for a permanent first-team role after impressing Flick, but the midfield picture has changed dramatically following the move for Rodri.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than keeping him without a realistic route to regular minutes, Barcelona are now prepared to sanction a transfer.<\/p>\n<p>La Masia becoming an important financial asset<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Bar\u00e7a receive \u20ac10 million for Marques and Fort and \u20ac6 million for Jofre, the three deals would produce a sum of \u20ac26 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is meaningful money for a club still navigating financial troubles and looking to be efficient in the transfer window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is always a danger in selling academy talent too early, particularly with players this young.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcelona therefore need to negotiate protections such as buy-back clauses or significant sell-on percentages wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it would make no sense to keep talents in the squad without providing them with a proper pathway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Bar\u00e7a manage to sell these three players for a combined fee of \u20ac26 million, it will be a good piece of business from the Catalans, and it remains to be seen how things play out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Barcelona have been trying to pull off a number of sales of La Masia starlets in recent weeks,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[92,222,223,4009,12717,8120],"class_list":["post-70186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-hector-fort","tag-jofre-torrents","tag-tommy-marques"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70186","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=70186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
