Starting off by targeting the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Rafinha among others, Barcelona managed to raise €267 million from TV rights deal to aid their cause.
Ever since, making clear of their intention to keep Frenkie de Jong despite Manchester United’s long-standing interest, the Catalan side have confirmed the signings of former AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie and former Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen on free transfers.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Barca will have to pay Chelsea €13 million for Cesar Azpillicueta and another €13m should they wish to also sign Marcos Alonso. With the new funds available, though, that sum could be reachable for the Liga giants.
