How much money Barcelona could get for Depay

After tough negotiations between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the Catalan side have given Depay the green light to go. It is thought to be a deal worth €3 million with another €1 million in add-ons.

What is more, Xavi's side have been able able to strike an option-to-buy deal with Atletico for Carrasco in the summer for around €20 million. It is a win-win for both sides, and we will see if the Catalonians have financial wiggle-room to make signings.

What you must not forget is that Xavi has insisted more than once that he does not want the team to get weaker, which is why the Barca board will have to find a replacement for the Dutchman. Many players have been suggested, such as Guedes.

Journalist Ramon Fuentes reported in 'Mundo Deportivo' the amount that Barcelona are going to have to try and sign: €3.8 million, which comes which several factors to take into account.

On the one hand, Barca would save around half of the player's wages, €5.5 million (€11 million was his total salary), and would get around 4 million from Atletico. This would make around €9.5 million overall and from that they will have to pay La Liga some.

The source mentioned reported a few days ago that the league put in a new rule stating that clubs which have already gone over their wage limit are only allowed to keep 40% of what they earn for the January transfer window. Therefore, that would be how much the side would have to strengthen the side.
