Barcelona need to raise money in the summer, which is why Mathieu Alemany decided to put up to 15 players on the market. All of them can leave if a good offer arrives, and there are unexpected surprises in the “black” list drawn up by the club’s general manager, with the unanimous vote of Joan Laporta and Xavi Hernandez. Many of them do not live up to expectations, or are paid too high
Without further delay, the first “bombshell” was the signing of Marc-André ter Stegen. The German had already contacted Newcastle United in the summer, and in fact they came for a firm offer from Mohammed bin Salman, which was rejected. Now, instead, they are open to negotiations. The other goalkeeper in the squad, Iñaki Peña, may also leave, although they are in talks to extend his current deal, which expires in June
In the defensive zone, it is nothing new to see Jordi Alba on the starting ramp. He doesn’t count next season, and they’re hoping they can pull off one of the highest paid signings on the team. Eric García, for his part, also has the doors completely open, because in his second campaign at the Camp Nou, he still hasn’t been able to show the potential he expected to have. Sergi Roberto is a 100% sure drop, and he will leave at no charge, as is Hector Bellerin
More surprising might be the sale of Andreas Christensen, who landed at Barcelona a few months ago but has yet to establish himself as a guaranteed substitute, so he could leave. Besides him, another person who can change his mind despite being relegated recently is Frank Casey. De Jong is not transferable, however, and they are not ruling out a change of atmosphere at all if they get around €80m in return
Pablo Toure is also a candidate to pack his bags, although in his case, it is more likely to be a loan. Of course, Sergio Busquets will leave, as he warned that he would not be renewed
Attack, the most mysterious area
For an attack, there can be multiple developments. For example, it has been confirmed that Memphis Depay will not follow, and Rafinha and Ferran Torres could go with him. Both arrived in Barcelona after a large investment, which has yet to be repaid, and Laporta plans to send them
Finally, we have Ansumani Fati, who has threatened to leave if he doesn’t have more fame, which he may eventually do. Everything depends on Xavi
