Increase Spending Power for Further Purchases

The transfer fee to bring Neymar to Catalunya would be massive—perhaps in the region of £30 million or more.

Barcelona would make that fee back many, many times over. In shirt and merchandising sales alone they could recoup that amount in a matter of months.

Neymar is rated as the most marketable athlete in the entire world right now and make no mistake, the commercial department of FC Barcelona would maximise that revenue in a heartbeat.

Not that the Spanish side are particularly short of a few quid anyway, but signing Neymar would help them raise additional funds in the medium term, which could be used for further strengthening of the team in January.
