Barcelona stands to gain from Alvaro Cortes’ transfer to Royal Antwerp, where he has quickly become a regular in the team. Since moving in September 2026, Cortes has made seven appearances in the Belgian First Division A, playing a total of 630 minutes. His solid performances are now attracting interest from major European clubs. While Barcelona retains a financial stake and a potential buy-back option, they are observing his development in hopes that his success at Antwerp may benefit them financially or through a future transfer.
