Barcelona have made some shrewd sales this century, even if it’s not all been good business for the Catalans

Barcelona have mainly been making headlines for their lavish spending over the course of the last few seasons, but they have managed to earn plenty of cash as well.

That was not necessarily always by choice, though.

There was the infamous departure of Luis Figo to Real Madrid at the start of the century, which did not go down particularly well at Camp Nou.

And then there was Neymar’s “betrayal” in 2017, which quite possibly caused an even bigger uproar.

More recently, they offloaded Arthur to Juventus in a deal that can only be described as a bit of creative accounting, before selling Philippe Coutinho at a significant loss just to get him off the books.

Still, it’s earned them a nice bit of change over the course of the 21st century!
