Barcelona will look to sell 2-3 more players this summer, including one of Spanish duo

Journalist Javier Miguel has reported on AS that Barcelona want to sell at least two to three players to free up the wage bill before the transfer window slams shut.

The players who are most likely to be sacrificed are Sergino Dest, Clement Lenglet and Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres.

Despite signing three players in the ongoing transfer window, Barcelona are still actively pursuing reinforcements for several positions. 

At the moment, the management has been informed that before signing any new player, they must offload a few from the current roster.

And while there are, indeed, a couple of unwanted players, the team from Catalonia might have to make a more significant sacrifice this summer.

Crucial decisions, for who?

It’s no secret that football agent Jorge Mendes is actively pushing Barcelona towards the acquisition of Joao Felix.

It is said that Xavi is not really opposed to the arrival of the Atletico Madrid player now, but he will only think of Felix once the team signs a midfielder as well as a right-back.

The player and his agent have been informed about the same and if they still tend to pursue this movement, they must be patient.

But for Barcelona to carry out all these incomings, they must sacrifice a few of their own.

Now, the likes of Lenglet and Dest have already been told to find new teams. The former’s agent is currently in Barcelona meeting with the club officials to find a resolution for his client.

As for Dest, the right-back is not in Xavi’s plans either and options for his exit are also being explored.

But a third exit is expected to be of a forward, between Ansu and Torres. The Spanish duo have been very reluctant to leave and have shown good form throughout the pre-season.

However, the club could need to make another important sale if they wish to bring in more reinforcements. As such, one of Fati or Torres could be forced out.

For now, there are no leads for the attacking duo, but Barcelona will try to establish some connections through their representatives.
