Barcelona have faced major salary cap and financial problems since the Covid-19 pandemic, but rather than sell players, the Blaugrana have so far opted to sell rather than sell assets. But that will change this summer.
Lionel Messi is of course the most infamous example of their financial situation forcing them to choose between players, while Ousmane Dembele's €50 million transfer clause to Paris Saint-Germain has been their biggest sale. But that approach will come to an end next summer, says Sport. They say the club has asked sporting director Deco to make big sales next summer. They have set him a target of €80 million, with Frenkie de Jong, Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen and Pablo Torre all expected to leave.
The main candidates for big sales are Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, who will no longer have a contract in 2026. Both are undoubtedly due for expensive contract extensions, and while it now appears Barcelona want to keep Araujo, they were open to selling him. last summer. Meanwhile, De Jong is one of the top earners at the club, but they will have to find a way to convince him to leave, which has failed several times in recent years.
