Barça Earns from Nico's Newcastle Transfer

Former Barcelona player Nico González has joined Newcastle United from Manchester City in a €58 million transfer deal. The move will also benefit Barcelona through FIFA's solidarity program, which allocates 5% of transfer fees to clubs that developed the player between ages 12 and 23.

The 24-year-old midfielder had previously played for Barcelona's youth system before moving to Manchester City. The solidarity payment represents another revenue stream for Barça as they continue to benefit from players who came through their academy. biznow.biz
