After the signings of Gündogan , Iñigo Martínez , Vitor Roque (for January) and Oriol Romeu , Barça will now prioritize departures.
Apart from finishing off the operations with the players who were on loan last season (Lenglet , Nico and we will have to see what happens with Dest after the tour), if the Barça club plans to incorporate any more signings for the offensive zone, they must first release other attacking players, where there are now up to six players (Raphinha, Dembélé, Lewandowski, Ferran, Ansu and Vitor Roque, signed for January).
In the first place, to be able to comply with the financial ‘fair play’. Without a sufficient salary margin, not only is it not possible to think about incorporating new players, but the registration of one of the signings could even be jeopardized, especially considering that there are six renewed footballers who must be registered (Araujo, Gavi, Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, Iñaki Peña and Balde ).
For this, it is also necessary for Barça to be able to collect part of the 60 million deferred from the third and fourth lever by Socios.com and Orpheus Media by Barça Studios .
In this context, for Barça to aspire to sign Bernardo Silva , a great sale would have to be made, and right now the most sought-after footballer is Raphinha , whom they are seeking in Arabia and Manchester City have also set their sights on him after the departure of Riyad Mahrez to Al-Ahli.
The Brazilian, who has always said that he wants to succeed at Barça, is the key so that Xavi can count on the footballer who would fulfill his aspirations. He would also help a sale of Kessie , who for now is not considering leaving the club either.
A different option to that of Bernardo Silva is that of Joao Félix. The Portuguese, who surprised by declaring his eternal love for Barça since he was a child, is a proposal from Jorge Mendes to Joan Laporta but the current financial situation leaves little room for action for the club with a footballer who also has a high profile.
Now it is not a priority for Xavi and his arrival could be conditional on Ferran agreeing to leave for Atlético.
