Barcelona could discharge a large number of players this summer and retain Frenkie de Jong – but will consider his exit if they cannot agree with a new deal with the Dutchman
Barcelona is willing to listen to offers for eight players this summer, because they lead a ruthless Cull, but Frenkie de Jong is not initial among those they want to load. They hope to close a new deal with the Dutchman.
De Jong is one of those linked to the exit door of Barcelona, ​​Manchester United was particularly enthusiastic when Erik ten Hag was in charge, but the ex-Ajax man is on the list of players who want to keep the Spanish giants.
However, that attitude could change if no agreement was found with De Jong. Sport reports that discussions are currently going in the right direction, but the midfielder will be marketed if they hit a roadblock in negotiations and a new contract cannot be agreed.
The other possible sale of Barcelona, ​​which will be led by Club Chief and former player Deco, include Ansu Fati and Gavi. Both men were once highly appreciated, but saw their development with the Spaniards ready to cash in.
Inaki Pena, Ronald Araujo, Hector Fort, Fermin Lopez and Pau Victor are also moving this summer. Araujo has previously been associated with that on the red half of Manchester.
Barcelona must also submit a new deal for Raphinha, which is tipped as a potential balloon d'Or winner. He has a lucrative deal on the table from Saudi Arabia after the best season of his career, but it would be a shock if he left the club.
It is also understood that the position in Barcelona is that 'no one is essential beyond Lamine Yamal' with the teenage sensation that is now considered one of the world's best players. He excelled in the Champions League stage and is the newest success story of their La Masia Academy.
Raphinha helped form a frightening front line that also contains Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski. Barcelona was recently beaten out of the Champions League, but was still able to complete the domestic double in what Hansi Flick's first season is in charge.
Barcelona must be in line with the line financially to ensure that they can continue to register their players. The Spain's National Sports Council, the CSD, gave Barcelona permission to temporarily register Dani Olmo after an appeal in January. La Liga granted Barcelona temporary licenses to register Olmo and Pau Victor last summer, but later withdrawn their registrations after they claimed that the club had not proven that they took the financial rules of the competition on the Deadline of 31 December.
