In general it's really quite common. Banks and companies with debt often sell off this debt, their financial assets, to specialist companies or to other banks at a discount so they can reinvest it.

Who the fuck will want to sell to Barca if clubs are having to use these kinds of means to collect debts from them? Are Barca in trouble?
The fact that banks/capital asset companies are happy to do this indicates that Barcelona have a high credit standing - which is no surprise given where their backing comes from.
It seems to be heavily discussed on their forum. Their board are telling everyone that they are in good shape

Where’s the chart showing City’s secret 2nd contracts so as they can pretend they aren’t breaking FFP.
I can understand that. He's in the form of his life and maybe the 7 mill isn't worth selling him at this point.
Well Ok, maybe Liverpool life then.
We're due to lose him on a free in 6 months anyway, so is he worth keeping around given the game time he'll get now that our players are coming back from injury.
Yes
We get Fabs back next week, Ox is also around, Minamo can do a job in the middle. We could potentially sell him.
My point exactly, better to sell & get him off the wage bill and it's a little extra kitty for the summer.
Either way I'm not all that bothered.
Or we suffer two/three midfield injuries & regret it. In a season where we can realistically say there's a chance not only at a league title, but a good chance at the CL/league double.
That's not worth a relatively small amount of cash.

It's all about the quintuple this year, fool.
Fabinho may be on the way back but he won't be oven-ready yet, and neither the Ox nor Minamino - though both do plenty of running - would be a natural replacement as cover in the no.6 role. £7 mill.isn't to be sniffed at for a player in the latter stages of his LFC career, but I support the club's apparent stance on this.
Neither is Lallana
Until recently I'd have agreed, but it's where Klopp's been playing him lately. He's not in Fabinho's class there, but as a stopgap he's done well enough to tide us over.
But has he played there that often? I know he did against Villa and was shit, and since Fabinho's injury, Henderson has dropped into that role anyway.
Lallana's most recent great game was against Everton - Chirivella played as the number 6 - and the game he started against Wolves was a wider attacking position.
He's versatile, certainly, but he'd be far from even my second choice as a number 6, and his value to us isn't in that position.
A back that could help us win the title and potentially retain the Champs League vs £7m in the bank..... Hmmmm... I think I'd go for the former. Besides the £7m isn't for him anyways, so he gain nothing from it, maybe a slightly higher wage. Might as well let him leave on a free and go back to Soton in the summer.
He's hardly going to be make or break whether we win the league now is he.
He's started like 5 games in the league during our 38 game unbeaten run.
Rather give his cameo minutes to Minamino or even Jones
