However, the Hleb deal collapsed. Eventually Ibrahimović cost Barcelona €69.884 million (£59 million), which included other fees. As per the Inter book the fee was €69.5 million, but part of the Inter fee (about 4.5%) was redistributed to youth clubs as solidarity contribution (except Juventus).
  2. €8 million of Icardi's fee was add-ons.
  3. Frey was signed by Inter for 8 billion lire (around €4.1m) and Sérgio Conceição which was valued at 32 billion lire (around €16.5m).
