Barcelona selling players to fund Neymar, Griezmann moves

FC Barcelona have already raised almost 80 million euro from player sales and are looking to sell of a few more players in order to fund the huge fees that will be needed to sign Neymar and Antoine Griezmann.

Marc Cardona to Osasuna, 2.5 million. André Gomes to Everton, 25 million. Jasper Cillessen to Valencia, 35 million. Denis Suárez to Celta Vigo, 16 million. That’s a total of 78.5 million euro in player sales already, with more on the way.

(Although, it has to be said, that a big chunk of that - equalling Cillessen’s transfer fee - has already been spent to acquire Neto from Valencia.
