Sport newspaper confirmed that Barcelona needs to sell a number of its players in order to balance its accounts, and the talk here is about next summer and not the winter transfer period.
According to the source, Barcelona’s economic management informed the sporting director Deco that it needs to bring in 80 million euros from player sales next summer.
Indeed, the Portuguese identified 3 names to sell in the summer and reach the desired number, which will mean that the Blaugrana will be able to make new contracts and renew player contracts without crises with the Financial Fair Play law.
Frenkie de Jong’s name tops these names, as Barcelona wants to get rid of his very large salary, in addition to the fact that he no longer provides the expected addition from him on the technical level.
Convincing De Jong to leave remains difficult, as the player will not find another club that will pay him a similar salary, in addition to the fact that his contract expires in 2026, so it is preferable to continue until then and then leave for another club for free and with it get a large transfer bonus.
The second name that Barcelona plans to sell with De Jong is Ansu Fati, as the player has failed to return to his pre-injury level, and is practically out of the calculations of coach Hansi Flick.
Finally, the name of Andreas Christensen stands out as the third player agreed to leave, especially since he has the interest of several English clubs, and his sale will guarantee a good financial profit.
