In a difficult financial context, Barcelona is forced to sell some players if it wants to recruit new recruits in the 2024 summer market.
Marcos Alonso has left as a free agent and the next may be the case of captain Sergi Roberto. The versatile Spanish player's contract with Barca expired in June this year.
Sergi Roberto is being pushed by Barcelona to extend his contract, but there is no guarantee of a successful registration with La Liga. Therefore, the 32-year-old player is considering offers from Girona, Porto, Ajax, Fiorentina and a number of Premier League clubs.
Spanish media said that midfielder Oriol Romeu is also likely to leave, just one year after joining Barca from Girona for 3.5 million Euros. That was also the only fee that Blaugrana spent last summer.
Meanwhile, Sergino Dest joined PSV Eindhoven, and Chadi Riad went to Crystal Palace. Players who were on loan last season such as Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre and Clement Lenglet are also encouraged to find new clubs.
The only exception may be Fati. New coach Hansi Flick appreciated the striker's efforts during training and the door to stay at Barcelona is still open. However, an injury prevented the Brighton player from traveling with Barca to the US last season. With his injury history, there are doubts rising about this 21-year-old striker.
With Barca promoting the recruitment of Nico Williams, Joao Felix is likely to officially return to Atletico Madrid. Of course, Blaugrana will not recoup any money from this move because Felix is only a loan contract. Meanwhile, they are willing to consider offers for the majority of the squad.
Young stars like Pau Cubarsi, Gavi and Lamine Yamal are the few players at Barca whose future is guaranteed. Meanwhile, Vitor Roque, who moved to the club in January, is causing internal division over the future. The Brazilian striker may have to leave on loan to gain more experience, but the possibility that the Blaugrana will sell outright cannot be ruled out.
There is also information that Barca will find a way to make money from midfielder Ronald Araujo, even though the Uruguayan international is injured after Copa America 2024. This midfielder will have to sit out for about 4 months after undergoing surgery. hamstrings.
Araujo's contract will expire in 2026, so sooner or later, Barca needs to clearly determine the future of this midfielder.
Inigo Martinez, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha and Ferran Torres are among other Barca players who could have to leave. Of course, none of them wanted to leave the club.
