Barça is working on planning for the next season and one of the key aspects will be the list of departures that Deco and the culer club want to undertake. The sporting director, along with Flick, has identified several players who are not in the plans of the German coach, so the club will try to sell them to free up salary mass.
Among the names that seem to have their future further from Barça are Andreas Christensen and Ansu Fati. The Danish center-back, despite having been important in previous seasons, doesn't fit into Flick's system and the club is open to his departure to make money. On the other hand, Ansu Fati, who still hasn't regained his best level after all the injuries, hasn't convinced the German coach and an exit will be sought for him.
Barça Doesn't Rule Out Unexpected Sales
Although the list of departures seems clear, the club doesn't rule out some surprises in the market. One of the names that has gained strength in recent weeks is Ronald Araújo. The Uruguayan center-back has been a defensive pillar in recent years, but the emergence of Pau Cubarsí and Flick's confidence in Íñigo Martínez have reduced his prominence.
Additionally, his contractual situation is key, as he has a release clause of 65 million euros, an amount that clubs like Bayern Munich and Juventus would be willing to pay. Barça, which needs to bring in money and reduce its salary mass, could accept the sale if a good offer comes in. Araújo remains one of the most sought-after defenders in the market, and his departure would help the club finance other strategic signings for the squad.
A Barça Star Has Many Offers
Another player who generates intrigue is Gavi. The Andalusian midfielder renewed until 2030, becoming one of the club's future bets, but his role has changed with Hansi Flick in recent matches. The German coach has opted for a system in which Gavi has lost prominence, preferring a more technical profile like Dani Olmo.
Gavi is a player with character, intensity, and quality, but the lack of minutes could make him consider a change of scenery. At 20 years old, he has an entire career ahead of him, and if he doesn't feel important in the team, he could listen to offers.
The Three Giants That Are Interested
Gavi's talent doesn't go unnoticed in Europe, and according to "El Nacional," several clubs have already shown interest in signing him. PSG, Liverpool, and Manchester United are the three teams most alert to his situation. The Parisian club, which seeks to strengthen its midfield with young players, sees Gavi as an ideal complement to figures like Vitinha.
In England, Liverpool and Manchester United also want to incorporate him. The Andalusian player's release clause is 1 billion, but if Barça doesn't guarantee him an important role, the player could seriously consider leaving.
