Barcelona is expected to use the “broom” during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Numerous departures are anticipated from the Catalan giants despite a positive season, which will likely culminate with the La Liga title, alongside the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey already in their trophy cabinet.
Nevertheless, the Blaugrana have a clear vision for the upcoming season.
They will not block players from leaving if attractive offers arrive, as the club aims to balance its finances — a need that has existed since the start of the pandemic, according to Spanish outlet Sport.
Of course, the Catalans won’t force anyone out, but they are open to negotiating the exits of players who are not considered untouchable by head coach Hansi Flick.
As many as nine players could be packing their bags this summer.
Among them are key players like Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, Fermín López, and even Gavi, should an irresistible offer be presented.
Also on the potential exit list are Iñaki Peña, Héctor Fort, Pablo Torre, Pau Víctor, and Ansu Fati.
The future of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny remains uncertain. He is reportedly open to extending his stay for another year after coming out of retirement.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is actively exploring reinforcement options, depending on which players coach Flick requests and, naturally, whether those targets align with the club’s financial capabilities.
