Barcelona Transfer News: Lionel Messi, Neymar, Luis Suarez Buyout Fees Reported

Barcelona's MSN trinity of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez have buyout clauses totalling £452 million, as the club stands on the edge of a "perilous financial situation."

Catalan newspaper Sport (h/t Joe Ridge of MailOnline) revealed the three players' contractual amounts that would need to be paid to trigger a sale—with Messi's set at £177 million, followed by £141 million for Suarez and £134 million to release Neymar:

However, the Barcelona-based newspaper said none of the three stars are for sale, despite interest from Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. 

The Blaugrana will have to sell the naming rights of the Camp Nou in order to generate further funds, according to Ridge. 

Pete Jenson of the MailOnline reported Barca are at risk of losing Messi and Neymar after making no profit from their Champions League success last season. The wage bill currently stands at 73 per cent of their revenue, and the club have no primary sponsor in place for next year after fresh talks with Qatar Airways stalled.

The triumphs of the team have also triggered a number of player bonuses, crippling the coffers as Barcelona become a victim of their own success, per Jenson. The club also have seven years of redevelopment to manage at their stadium, which will cost £423 million.

President Josep Maria Bartomeu is determined neither Messi or Neymar will be sold, but Jenson commented:

"

Barcelona will break the bank to keep the pair of them, first and foremost because any board that oversees their sale would have to offer its resignation to angry supporters. But the financial commitment will need to be paid for by finding new revenue streams and making cuts elsewhere.

Barcelona are at a disadvantage as a member-owned club because there is no foreign investment to swell the coffers. While Manchester City can receive huge injections of capital from Abu Dhabi and China, they must look for new ways to generate money.

The club are keen to renegotiate the deal with Nike which earns them between £21m-£24.7m (€30-€35m) a year. But it is not up for renewal until June 2018.

David Anderson of the Mirror reported City wish to capture Pep Guardiola from Bayern Munich, and they will afford him the opportunity and finance to sign Messi. 

Bleacher Report's Dean Jones understands there is every chance Guardiola and Messi could make their way to the Premier League:

As the money pours into the Premier League because of its new £5 billion TV deal, Barcelona will not be able to compete with English clubs when it comes to finance. 

United's sponsorship deal with Adidas is worth £750 million to the Red Devils alone, per Mike Keegan of MailOnline. Should they wish to flex their muscles against the Blaugrana they have the ability to do so.

The three players' release clauses sound like a lot of money, but the new cash in English football will see transfer fees explode in the coming years. 

The names of Messi or Neymar on the backs of shirts would be worth the transfer fee alone for England's top clubs, before they have even stepped foot on a football pitch. 

Barcelona are in deep trouble when it comes to the financial arena, and they may have to make promises they might not be able to keep in order to convince their best players to stay.
