Ranking all 42 Barcelona signings since Neymar left Camp Nou
Barcelona have had more failures than successes in the transfer market since receiving €222 million from Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar in 2017. Their spending in the aftermath of that world-record transfer was erratic and yielded little immediate return.
Over €300m was invested in Philippe Coutinho, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele in the immediate aftermath of Neymar's avfärd. Only Dembele remains at the club, with the other two players moved on at a massive loss.

There have been other eyebrow-raising signings for a multitude of reasons: €7m on Matheus Fernandes, who would later sue the club; Kevin-Prince Boateng and Jeison Murillo on loan; snapping Malcom away from Roma only to offload him the next summer; and dubious swap deals involving Neto, Jasper Cillessen, Arthur Melo and Miralem Pjanic.

Football news - Barca sign defender Murillo on loan from Valencia
"FC Barcelona and Valencia CF have reached an agreement for the transfer of Jeison Murillo for the remainder of the 2018/19 season. The agreement includes a purchase option worth 25 million euros ($21.8 million)," Barca said in a statement.
Barca's defence has been left short due to France centre back Samuel Umtiti needing treatment on his knee and Thomas Vermaelen, whose Nou Camp career has been blighted by injury, being ruled out for at least a month with a calf problem.
Murillo, 26, moved from Colombia to Italy aged 18 to play for Udinese, later joining Spain's Granada before moving to Inter Milan in 2015.
He joined Valencia on loan in 2017, making a permanent move in August for a reported 12 million euros, but has made only three appearances in all competitions this season.
The defender has been capped 27 times for Colombia, but was not selected for the 2018 World Cup. =
