Sell ​​Rock for 30.5 million euros! Is Barcelona s operation profitable or loss a mystery?

The La Liga transfer window is closed, and Barcelona is not idle. Before the Brazilian league transfer window is closed, the sale of 19-year-old Brazilian striker Vitor Rock was successfully finalized. Several media confirmed that Barcelona and Brazilian League powerhouse Palmeiras reached an agreement, with a total transfer price of 30.5 million euros, including a fixed fee of 25.5 million euros and a floating bonus of 5 million euros, and a 20% second transfer share is also retained. In this wave of operations, Barcelona basically recovered the 30 million euros spent on signing Rock in January 2023. Maybe they can make a small profit. They are so smart.

Rock was not reused after he arrived in Barcelona, ​​and neither Xavi nor Frick had a firm foothold. Last season, Betis was loaned to the loan, with 7 goals and 2 assists in 33 games. His performance was OK, but he did not meet Barcelona's expectations. Barcelona is now under great financial pressure and has to update its lineup. Selling Rock can not only earn transfer income, but also free up salary space. In particular, Inigo Martinez's contract renewal negotiations were just in need of money, and Rock's departure happened to help a lot.

Barcelona also considered it thoroughly to compensate Betis for the impact of termination of Rock's loan to Betis early, and abandoned part of Abd's second transfer share (original 50%) to compensate Betis. This move stabilized Betis and laid the foundation for future cooperation.

From a broad perspective, Rock's departure and Barcelona's financial optimization are the embodiment of the club's reshaping. Barcelona has debt pressure and salary cap restrictions, so they have to adjust their lineup and finance while ensuring their competitiveness. Selling Rock ensures no loss and also leaves room for contract renewal and signing. In the future, veterans renew their contracts, new players join, and youth training and growth, Barcelona is expected to maintain their financial health while maintaining competitiveness in La Liga and European arenas. Rock left a little regretful, but it was a wise move for the club's long-term development
