Exit-linked Barcelona quartet not thinking about leaving the club in January
The rumour mill in Barcelona has flooded this week with speculations linking players such as Raphinha, Franck Kessie, Memphis Depay and Hector Bellerin, among others to a move away from Camp Nou.
However, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo, the majority of the Barcelona players linked with an exit have no desire to leave the club anytime soon.
Raphinha, for one, has been linked with a move to Arsenal lately. But the Brazilian has no desire to leave Camp Nou. He had notably snubbed a move to the Emirates in the summer in favour of a move to Catalonia and the attacker considers his future in Spain.
Even Barcelona are not entirely sure about the departure of Raphinha, and back the attacker to improve his performances.
Meanwhile, Eric Garcia, too, has shown no indication of his desire to leave Camp Nou. The defender has fallen out of favour under Xavi this year, but this will not deter him from fighting for his place in the team.
Another player facing an uncertain future at Barcelona is Hector Bellerin. The Spaniard was heavily subjected to a move to Real Betis earlier this month. And even though the player is not happy with his lack of opportunities in the team, he wants to remain in the Spanish league despite offers from Italy.
As for Franck Kessie, the Ivorian, too, has struggled to make his presence felt since joining the Catalans in the summer. He has even been linked with a move to Inter Milan over a swap deal involving Marcelo Brozovic.
However, Kessie does not want to leave Camp Nou just yet, and given that this is the midfielder’s first season, he still harbours hope of succeeding at the club.
One player who looks increasingly likely to depart, though, is Memphis Depay. The Dutchman is reportedly keen on a move to Atletico Madrid this month, although Barcelona are holding out for a fee of around €7 million.
