Long time agent Josep Maria Minguella has criticised Barcelona's transfer policy.

Minguella, who brought Leo Messi to Barca when the Argentine was a junior, believes the club has failed to get value for money from the players they've signed.

He told Marca: "None of the three (Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho) were profitable for Barcelona. We have gained almost nothing with them. The only one who can have a buyer is Griezmann.

"Coutinho has been missing for a year and Dembélé is plagued with injuries and right now he is not negotiable, it cannot be an income motive for the club."

On Sergio Agüero, he added: "Barça needed a striker. And although he is a player who has been injured, he has arrived for free, and if he is physically well, he can score several goals. There was no money to sign a top footballer like (Erling) Haaland and I didn't see it as bad that a second-level player is signed."
