FC Barcelona hasn't stopped planning its squad for next season. In recent days, it has activated Joan García's clause (€25 million plus CPI), coming from Espanyol, and it seems ready to do the same with Nico Williams. After this, it's time to make sales and try to get a lot of money. Hansi Flick is very clear about this, as is the sporting management.
An important aspect for Barça is that it still keeps significant percentages over young players who left some time ago and who can now bring in a lot of money. This specific case has been on Flick's desk, but he has decided not to bring him back. We're talking about Mika Mármol, center-back for Las Palmas, whose clause is €10 million ($10.8 million) and the culer side keeps 50% of his future sale.
Espanyol is going after Mika Mármol
Mika Mármol doesn't want to play in the Second Division and is looking to leave Gran Canaria. He has received interest from multiple clubs, but the Catalan is set to wear Espanyol's jersey. Marca has revealed that the perico team is interested in this move, trying to strengthen its defensive line with a young footballer with potential.
Mármol's contract ends on June 30, 2026, and he isn't willing to renew. Everything seems to indicate that he will leave this summer, and half of what they pay will go to Barça's coffers. This means that, if the culer youth product heads to the perico side, it will indirectly end up being good news for Spotify Camp Nou.
Barça can recover €5 million ($5.4 million) from Joan García
After having paid Joan's clause, what Barça didn't expect is that the white and blue team itself could return part of the money. If they end up signing Mika Mármol, half of all that will go to FC Barcelona's coffers, representing a significant and unexpected income.
In any case, it's not just the pericos who are interested in signing Mika Mármol. The Catalan has a big market in Italy, with Como and Roma after him. Barça is awaiting news in this regard, while Hansi Flick has been clear: he isn't interested in bringing him back. It's time to cash in on another La Masia "escapee".
