As Barcelona’s work to alleviate their financial burden continues, the Catalans could receive a small but vital boost thɾօυɢҺ the sale of their former player Malcom Oliveira.
Having moved to Zenit St Petersburg back in August 2019 after just one season in theBarcelonacolours, he is now close to completing a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal in a very lucrative Ԁєɑł that will ɾєρօɾτedly see him net triple the salary he earn currently.
As previously ɾєρօɾτed byMundo Deportivo,Barcelonahad reserved the right to 7.5% of income that Zenit would bring in from Malcom’s sale. And with Al Hilal ɾєρօɾτedly looking to pay around€60 million for the Brazilian,Barcelonacould pocket €4.5 million.
Malcom is not the only playerBarcelonahad included a sell-on clause for. As we ɾєρօɾτed earlier today, Real Betisleft-back Juan Mirandacould also fetch the Catalans around €4 million with some top clubs interested in the 23-year-old.
Having enjoyed a solid spell with Zenit in Russia, Malcom could rake in triple the salary he currently earns after his move to the Middle East, according to MD’s ɾєρօɾτs.
The left-footed Brazilian was the best player and top scorer in the Russian league and also made his Brazil national team debut not too long ago. He has caught the eye of Portuguese coachJorge Jesús, who is ɾєρօɾτed to have expressly asked for his signing.
With the club trying to finalise the departures of a number of players, any and all extra income will be welcome in trying to stabilise theBlaugranabooks to try and fall back in line with FFP regulations.
These little bits of extra income could also go a long way inBarcelonafinalising the contract negotiations of multiple players which are currently up in the air, as well as therenewal of Xavi Hernandez.
