According to reports, Barcelona has put eight players on the transfer list to clear the budget for a significant summer acquisition.
The Blaugrana are still facing severe financial difficulties, therefore they are unable to spend money carelessly. Due to their debt, they have struggled to register new signings swiftly and have recently had trouble adhering to La Liga’s standards.
The Catalan team has been strongly linked to Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, two Spain Euro 2024 heroes, as they aim to bolster their squad this summer to ensure they can compete with Real Madrid.
But to set up the right finances, they need to sell players. Additionally, eight players were made available for the appropriate price, according to The Athletic.
Both Ronaldo Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, two high earners, are on the list. However, their injuries will virtually certainly prevent any transfers.
Although Raphinha is reportedly unnecessary, he is unwilling to leave Barcelona, and the team is pleased that his colleague Vitor Roque is moving on.
Both Clement Lenglet and Mikayil Faye are available due to the excess number of centre-backs on the roster.
Although the former spent the previous season on loan at Villa, he is being paid a hefty salary, and the latter’s transfer value of Faye hasn’t yet attracted much attention.
Despite his versatility and the fact that he only scored one and a half goals for Manchester City last season, Ferran Torres is also included on the list.
Top target Williams is reportedly planning to stay at Athletic, but Barca is still making a lot of effort to lure Olmo back.
The 26-year-old is a native of Barcelona and attended the La Masia program before finding success with RB Leipzig and Dinamo Zagreb. He also played for Espanyol.
Although Olmo’s contract included a £50.5 million release clause, it has no expiration date, which has altered the dynamics of a transfer.
