FC Barcelona is working non-stop to settle the accounts in order to incorporate Vitor Roque in January. Not only that: the Catalan club do not rule out closing a second operation if the money from the sale of Barça Studios arrives . Xavi wants a midfielder to cover the loss of Gavi .
However, not all the plans the club is working on are short-term. Those in charge, with Joan Laporta in charge, are also looking at the long term. And there are some players who are close to the exit ramp for the end of the year.
One of them is that of Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker had a good season last season, especially in the first few months. But since returning from the World Cup in Qatar, it has been difficult for him to regain his tone. And this course is being very irregular.
So much so that, if Roque gives a good performance, they will motivate the sale of the former Bayern Munich player . Aries has offers from Saudi Arabia that would be very beneficial for the coffers.
The second player in the spotlight is Raphinha. The Brazilian is not performing as expected. He was expected to have much more quality one-on-one and also in front of goal. And it is true that he has signed some good performances.
But it is also that he has not yet consolidated himself in the extreme right. He is not able to chain several high-level matches in a row.
Oriol Romeu is also leaving a lot to be desired. The crack arrived to cover the loss of Sergio Busquets , but with the passage of the games it has been seen that his figure is not essential. It is far from the level that is required of a footballer in his position. And Xavi has managed to cover the absence of Busi with Gundogan , Pedri , Frenkie de Jong.
The fourth player in dispute is Ferran Torres . It seemed that at the beginning of the season he was getting back to his best version. But nothing could be further from reality. Its performance has again been sub-minimum. While Joao Félix has won the game for him.
And while it is true that Marcos Alonso is not getting minutes either, the full-back’s contract ends in June 2024, so he would not report any income.
A series of discards for which Barça could collect more than 100 million euros that would not only improve the economy of the entity, but would also reduce the wage bill and leave more room for maneuver in signings next summer.
