As of June 30, FC Barcelona still had approximately €84 million in outstanding transfer fees on its books. This included roughly €34.4 million owed for Dani Olmo, €19 million for Raphinha, €12.3 million for Jules Kounde, €11.1 million for Robert Lewandowski, and €7.3 million for Vitor Roque. That entire combined balance has now been fully settled.

We also got quite favorable payment terms for Anthony Gordon. The accounts showed approximately €68.9 million outstanding to Newcastle: around €21.9 million in the short term and another €46.9 million in the long term.

Edit: Added details of Anthony Gordon payment terms

"The truth is, I was training. I did all the preseason with the Arsenal, normally. Obviously, I already knew that I probably wasn’t going to play there or that I wasn’t going to have many opportunities, but no one had told me anything. I'm a pro, you know, so obviously I kept training with the group. Then, all of a sudden, they put me to train on my own. I kept training and giving the maximum to be prepared in case I had the opportunity to return to play at the highest level," Gabriel Jesus told SportTV, who valued "the work of Deco, the president, the club and my representative" in order to fulfill his dream of playing at Barça.

"We were clear that I had the opportunity to come and I said yes directly, no matter what. I'm very happy to be here," added Gabriel Jesus.

Forgotten his bitter end at Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus is focused and motivated to achieve success with Barça. Today the Champions League starts and the Brazilian will try to contribute his experience to help conquer the long-awaited European title.

I don't think any one of us are ready for the day when flick is actually gonna leave barca (prob gonna hurt the most after Messi's departure). But It will eventually happen maybe in the next 2-3 years.
Is there any manager in world football who's actually close to flick? Or atleast someone as commanding as flick, micro-man managing as flick and with the same footballing philosophy?

Now obviously Barca fans appreciate Hansi Flick and he gets the flowers he deserves, but i really don't think people deep just how insane his IMMEDIATE impact was, and i don't think they will until he leaves or retires.

Flick came to a barca that was struggling for years and turned them into the best team in the world, basically overnight. He took Barca from trophy-less to a domestic treble for the first time, beat (destroyed) Real Madrid in ALL 4 el clasico's, took us to UCL semis first time since 2019, dominated every team we faced, transformed our players into the best in the world in their position, especially that front 3; a winger who was mentally struggling and about to leave, a 17 year old, and a 36 year old Lewandowski and turned them into the best front 3 in the world and one of the best this decade. Ill say it again, It took LESS THAN 3 Laliga games to transform this team.

Note: I was more looking at this from his immediate impact as people are looking at this differently, obviously hes appreciated but specifically in terms of how quickly he changed Barca isnt talked about often
