Beyond the transfer fee, the Catalans will also benefit from a major reduction in salary commitments. Before his departure, Fati had restructured his contract, spreading his remaining earnings over a longer period and leaving the club with an annual gross cost of approximately €8.6m until 2028.
By removing those obligations, Barcelona are expected to free up around €17.2m in gross salary expenditure across the next two seasons. The savings strengthen the club's financial position and provide greater flexibility in squad planning.
