"Thanks to us pulling a few levers, we didn't have to empty our pockets," said Laporta.
"We had the opportunity to buy new players and build a more impactful squad. We feel better now, and there are clear indications of that.
"Last summer we only bought Dani Olmo, who cost us €47m and Pau Víctor. Thanks to Deco's (sports director) work, we have sold to players for a net value of €80m."
