Barcelona ready to sell crucial players for a big signing next summer

Preparations for the summer transfer window are in full flow at the offices of FC Barcelona. The coming June is seen as a window that restores the club to its competitive level, and several key signings are eyes.

According to reports from Lluis Mascaro, Barcelona are looking to ship certain big names to make space on the roster.

Apart from the clear departures of Phillipe Coutinho and Samuel Umtiti, other key names like Frenkie de Jong might find themselves on the departure list too in order to facilitate the arrival of Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian International is eyed as the perfect solution to Barcelona’s problems in front of goal. His killer instinct could well be the difference between a dormant and an explosive Catalan side.

Though the club are in a serious financial crisis, the transfer fee is not seen as a big hurdle in signing the Dortmund star. Mascaro further adds that the salary limit imposed by La Liga is seen as the biggest roadblock, as Barcelona are already very close to the limit.

The club will try everything to sign Haaland in the summer, and efforts are already being made to convince Mino Raiola to influence the player’s decision. The potential move for Ajax’s Noussair Mazraoui is also a part of the ploy to please the super agent.

A move to Barcelona would also be positive for Haaland, because he would not only become the protagonist but also the poster image for the club.

According to SPORT, he prefers the Catalan club over Real Madrid, another giant club that is trying to lure his signature. Yet, it remains to be seen how the salary limit is maintained, and whether Blaugrana can really beat Los Blancos -and other elites- in his signing.
