Someone drops £198 million into your bank account one day, what do you do with it? For Barcelona the answer is apparently to instantly go and agree fees for your top transfer targets.
Those people who claim that winning a bucket load of money on the lottery wouldn't change them really don't deserve to win it. Who would continue to get the train for their 9-5 job every day with £60 mil in the bank?
A Gulfstream G650 private jet only costs £40 million so you'd still have £20 million to buy a one bedroom flat somewhere in the centre of London.

For Ernesto Valverde though the money he's got to play with is a lot more at £198 million after Neymar was 'sold' to Paris Saint-Germain. Now he needs to spend it to replace the Brazilian.
First up is Philippe Coutinho who has long been a target for the La Liga side. According to some reports the deal for the Liverpool midfielder has been agreed between the two clubs.
But the Catalonian club need to kick on with transfers and now it's been reported that they've agreed a 115 million euro fee with Borussia Dortmund for Ousmane Dembélé.

Dembele only moved to Dortmund last summer for just £13 million from Rennes when Barcelona missed out signing the 20 year-old.
The Frenchman impressed in the Bundesliga last term and scored six goals in the league last season.
He's seen as one of the best young prospects in Europe and it would be a huge coup for Barcelona to sign him but it would be a huge fee.
