FC Barcelona News
The painful defeat against Real Madrid reaffirmed the need for a second revolution in the team so that it could compete at the highest level with full guarantee. Barcelona need to sign quality players, but they will need to sell for this.
The feasibility plan they expect to be approved by La Liga anticipates strong sales income and the exit process has been weeks in the making. The club will hear offers from several players in the current squad and the coaching staff will end up making decisions, although priority is given to those with the fewest minutes to leave.
Barcelona aspires to enter more than 120 million euros. Some have already been finalized, such as the forced sale of Trincao, and others are on the way to a final move, such as Lenglet to Tottenham.
In fact, FC Barcelona believes that only Abdel Samad Al Zalzouli will return after his loan while other loaned players will be offered on the market.
There is a lot of optimism about selling Umtiti, even if for a small fee, and players like Neco Gonzalez already have clubs wanting to sign him.
The income from these deals will not be enough for Barcelona, so the upcoming offers of the players of the current first team will be heard. President Joan Laporta had already warned weeks ago that there would be exits, although he did point out players with fewer minutes.
And in this case, it is clear that the names of Ferran Torres, Jordi Alba and Ansu Fati are on everyone’s lips and it is they who the club decided to sell, but this does not mean that their departure can be taken for granted. Everything will depend on the agreement with them and, above all, the arrival of important offers that make the sale viable, and give benefits to the entity.
In the sporting department, director of football, Mathieu Alemani, polled all the first-team players’ agents to see if they would get offers. They will analyze each case to make decisions with the aim of strengthening the club financially and trying to ensure that the team does not lose out financially.
It has been clear to the club for weeks that Christensen is dealing with interest from several Premier League teams and it will have to be seen how this all plays out. Barcelona has also already made it clear that it can recover the money it has invested in Rafenha if necessary.
To be able to sign and to be able to sign new players like Javi, Araujo and Baldi it will be necessary to sell. There is no other. And the Blaugrana are aware that there could be an unwanted exit.
Despite everything, there are red lines that the club does not want to cross, such as the cases of Pedri, Javi, Araujo and De Jong. It looks like it’s going to be a busy summer and at Barcelona they expect the team to emerge much stronger than this summer transfer window.
