It's not as simple as it sounds. Just receiving the money won't be enough as La Liga doesn't allow us to reinvest in the same manner:
Laporta's hands are tied.
You should watch Gaya in an hour. I don't think he's an obvious solution at the moment. Alba looks superior.

On a normal day Alba is pretty good , that's not the issue. Problem is when he suddenly turns into a Segunda level LB in those high pressure games (especially in the CL) , same goes for Mats.

At his best there's maybe only one or two better LBs than Alba in the World.
The problem with Alba is that his best never shows up vs. good teams or when teams cut out his outlet to Messi which is 90% of his attacking contribution. Speaks volumes that Alba is benched today in a KO game. He's been decent this tourney, but maybe Lucho doesn't trust him in a game like this.

Very close to Leeds...
All three parties would agree. Junior Firpo has opted for the English club that would guarantee him four seasons of contract. Bar?a would ensure income between 15 and 18 million euros, although not all would go to the coffers of the Bar?a club. Betis will take 20% of a transfer.
The azulgrana club paid for his purchase a fixed of 18 "kilos" and another 12 in variables, which were divided into two groups, one of seven and another of five. The first seven will be paid according to the games played. But since Junior has barely made a career to make them effective, 20% of a possible transfer would be for the Betic club. The remaining five would have been paid in equal parts of 2.5 million if he had made his debut as an absolute international and based on Bar?a's collective achievements.
So if we sell for a min. 15m we won't have any loss on him even after paying Betis their part. None other variables will be paid as he didn't play enough games, made a NT debut for Spain nor did we win anything in his two years here except CDR (which I don't think it's enough as those collective achievements were probably tied to La Liga and CL).

Bielsa turned Benjamin Mendy into the player Man City splashed 52M GBP for. So at least Firpo would learn how to cross the ball.

I kind of liked him when he joined, but just the wrong profile for us (at least in my opinion).
