Joan Laporta's latest lever: €61M in loose change. Barça finds another goldmine.

Barça can get a lot of value from the rights it keeps over players who are no longer at the club

Up to 80 million euros is expected to be earned by FC Barcelona from the remains of players who no longer belong to the club.

Barça kept a series of options on future sales that could become effective this summer. In doing so, clean up the club's finances.

What could fall into Barça's piggy bank

1.- Francisco Trincao: 15 million

Barça sold him to Sporting de Portugal for 10 million and kept 50% of the income from a future sale. His market valuation is 30 million, half of which would be for Barça.

2.-Mika Marmol:  5 million

Barça also kept 50% of a future transfer. Las Palmas's relegation puts him on the launch pad. His price: 10 million euros, half for Barça.

3.-Jean-Clair Todibo: 20 million

He belongs to Nice and played this year on loan at West Ham, which has a mandatory purchase option to be executed this summer for 40 million. Half, for Barça.

Barça sold him to Celta and this summer his transfer to Aston Villa is strongly rumored for his 20 million release clause. Half, for Barça.

5.-Ilaix Moriba: 500,000

Barça sold him to Leipzig for 16 million. He didn't succeed in Germany, was loaned to Valencia and this season to Celta. The Galician club is willing to pay 5 million for his rights and 10% is for Barça.

7.-Abde Ezzazouli: 4 million

8.-Ferran Jutglà:  500,000 euros 

He was sold to Bruges for 5 million, with Barça keeping 10% of his capital gain in a future transfer that wouldn't exceed 10 million.

FC Barcelona can also profit from a future transfer of Vitor Roque. Although that doesn't seem to be the idea of his current club, Palmeiras. If it happens, they keep 10% of his rights.
