Barcelona's financial loss from Nico González's transfer to Manchester City highlights complex football transfer agreements. Following his move to Porto for €8.5m, Porto paid €3m to activate a clause that cut Barcelona's share of future transfer fees to 20%, thus denying them an expected €7 million. Although they earned a total of €21.72 million from his moves, the decision by Porto diminished their potential profit and ability to re-sign González. The article demonstrates how strategic clauses in player contracts can significantly alter financial returns for clubs.
