For many, many years, La Masía was known as the best provider of talents to Barcelona, and the players that came through the youth system ranks became huge stars. For the last few season, however, La Masia products have brought some good money.
With his €30 million move to Chelsea, Pedro Rodríguez, who joined La Masía 11 years ago was promoted to the first team due to his performances at Barça B, became the most profitable product from the youth academy in club history.
To be clear, this is not the highest transfer fee for a La Masía player, because that belongs to Cesc Fàbregas' €33 million sale to the same Blue team from London last summer.
