AS reveals who is the first player to agree to leave Barcelona after meeting with Xavi

Barcelona needs to conduct large sales in order to balance its accounts and provide margin in order to register the new deals to be concluded this summer, as well as in order to register the contracts of new players such as Jaffe and Araujo.

There is a list prepared by the sports administration and the technical staff led by Xavi for potential sales during the current summer Mercato, including Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Frank Kessie and also Ravenha in the event of a good offer.

The AS newspaper revealed the first player who agreed to leave by mutual consent after meeting with Xavi

Franck Kessie will be Barcelona’s first sales. The Ivorian midfielder has given his consent to leave the Blaugrana club, as long as an interesting offer arrives, AS has learned.

Moreover, the midfielder has already had a conversation with Xavi Hernandez, in which the coach explained the problems and circumstances that forced the club to make this decision.

Now the club has a few weeks to complete the process to its satisfaction. So far, he has not received any official offer regarding Kesseh, but he has maintained informal contacts with some clubs, some of which desperately want to include the Ivorian.

Among them stand out Inter Milan, who offered a swap deal with two players from his team, and Liverpool Club, which needs a physical midfielder. Tottenham, who was on his trail last summer, also joins the list of those interested.

Barcelona starts with a figure of at least €35m to close the deal. This amount will return entirely to the club’s coffers: Kessé arrived last summer for free after the expiration of his contract with Milan. The departure of the international player will allow the club to obtain a margin of 15/17 million to start considering new deals.

The cases of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati seem more complicated. Firstly, because neither of them wants to leave Barcelona, ​​and secondly, because they have contracts with very high salaries and have many years of contracts, which will force all parties to make an effort to find a beneficial solution.
