  "summary": "Barcelona are set to earn up to €8 million from the double La Masia exits of Alvaro Cortes and Toni Fernandez, as reported by Yahoo Sports. The club is closing in on a transfer deal that could bring in between €7 million and €8 million before the transfer window closes. Cortes is expected to join Royal Antwerp for a fee of just over €3 million, while Venezia are anticipated to pay around €4 million for Toni Fernandez. The club's primary objective is not only to generate a transfer fee but also to retain control over the players' futures through mechanisms such as a right of first refusal, a buy-back option, or retaining a percentage of the players' economic rights. These structured deals aim to balance the desire to keep promising players within the system with the practical reality of finding meaningful minutes for them.",
