3 times Barcelona activated a buy-back clause

Denis Suarez on tour with Barcelona

Another player whose fledgling career has been nomadic thus far, Denis Suarez started out as a Manchester City youth player. He had a short spell at Celta Vigo B before returning to Manchester and eventually signing for Barcelona in 2013 for an undisclosed fee.

The midfielder was placed in the Barcelona B team between 2013 and 2015, although he spent the 2014/15 season on loan at Sevilla with Gerard Deulofeu. Upon his return from the loan spell, Suarez was sold to Villareal for an undisclosed fee in the summer of 2015.

Once again, the transfer included a buy-back clause which was activated just a year later when Barcelona brought the 24-year-old back to the Nou Camp for just €3.25 million. During his first season back, Suarez managed just 12 starts in La Liga.

However, last season the Spaniard played a bigger role in helping La Blaugrana lift the league title and he has gone on to make 43 appearances in two seasons with three goals to his name during that time.
