The Barcelona crisis has everyone thinking of a cleaning to refresh the squad, with the future coach possibly being Ronald Koeman. That roadmap has been determined, with President Josep Maria Bartomeu himself confirming that only seven players are in the safe zone.
Who doesnt Have to sell? Leo Messi, he told Barca TV. He knows that. Messi is the best player in the world. Bartomeu praised Messi for being the one who should not have done it at this time, if not accompanied by action.
After a humiliating 2-8 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Messi showed his total disappointment, including the personnel development direction that the board had chosen.
It is reported that Messi has proposed saying goodbye in this year's transfer season. When the list of tycoons waiting with a lot of money to roll out the red carpet to welcome Messi, it seems like Bartomeu and the Board of Directors also need to take action, for example, restarting the deal to attract Neymar back. However, the Barca boss insists he will not take Neymar at this time and puts more hopes in the case of Lautaro Martinez.
Regarding those who are not to be sold, Bartomeu said: "We also talk about Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Nelson Semedo, Frenkie de Jong, Clement] Lenglet, Ousmane Dembele... Antoine Griezmann is the same." Everyone knows how disappointing some of these are and they are the ones who have to leave. And it is not difficult to see that the futures of Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez are also on the cards.
The President said that, but in reality, it is still necessary to see whether the club can carry out the "blood change" restructuring as desired, with many players having high salaries.
