Barcelona are reportedly set to offload up to nine players this summer, with high-profile names like Frenkie de Jong and Gavi surprisingly on the list.
Despite a thrilling 4-3 win over Real Madrid bringing them within touching distance of the La Liga title, and a near Champions League final appearance, Barcelona’s financial troubles continue to loom large.
The club has already claimed two domestic trophies this season, but major financial restructuring remains essential.
According to SPORT, the club’s leadership understands that drastic steps are needed to meet La Liga’s financial fair play rules.
Only a few stars are considered untouchable, such as teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, along with Pedri and Raphinha, who are expected to remain.
De Jong, whose contract situation remains unresolved, may be sold unless an extension is agreed upon.
His recent performances, including praise from Inter boss Simone Inzaghi, have reaffirmed his value, but the club’s financial pressure could force their hand.
Gavi, another fan favourite currently recovering from an ACL injury, is also at risk. While he has expressed his commitment to the team, Barcelona might be tempted to sell if a lucrative offer arrives.
Homegrown talents like Fermin Lopez, Pablo Torre, Hector Fort, and Inaki Pena are also reportedly being considered for exits.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo’s future is uncertain, as talks of a summer move—possibly to Manchester United—circulate after reports of mental fatigue.
Ansu Fati, whose form has dipped, may also be moved on to make way for potential targets like Marcus Rashford.
Similarly, Pau Victor could leave just a year after signing. Barcelona’s rebuild is expected to be both strategic and financially driven.
