Xavi Hernández is aware of Barça’s need to obtain income in order to comply with Financial Fair Play, and for this reason he has pointed out to Joan Laporta the players he considers to be expendable, and who would not leave a particularly sensitive space in the dressing room. That is to say, that their farewells would not be painful, seeing the performance they are offering, as well as the salary they receive, and which they are not justifying at all.
Here the name of Robert Lewandowski appears , who is one of the main focuses of concern at Camp Nou. Despite being the highest paid in all of La Liga EA Sports , he is not showing the level that was expected of him, and has accumulated all kinds of destructive criticism.
The patience of the fans and the coach of Terrassa is running out, and right now he is closer to leaving than staying. Especially, seeing that his profile will increase as the campaigns progress.
They still have time to get significant financial compensation for ‘9’, who at 35 seems to have entered a phase of unstoppable decline. With the money they would leave in the coffers, they could bring in some interesting reinforcements, and they already have their replacement, Vitor Roque, who will arrive on January 1st. While at La Masía we have Marc Guiu, who in the only two clashes he has played, has scored in both.
Jules Koundé also appears on this list of expendables. Xavi has always shown incredible confidence in the French defender’s abilities, and in fact he was the one who asked Joan Laporta to sign him for Barça a year and a half ago. But the Gaul’s selfish attitude, refusing to play as a right-back, and the constant mistakes he has made this term have seen him put himself on the exit ramp.
They will negotiate all the offers that arrive for the 24-year-old footballer , for whom they made a considerable bet.
Andreas Christensen is also not saved, although the previous season was untouchable, and he became one of the pleasant surprises at Barça. But this year he has lost a lot of prominence, and Xavi has preferred to trust Íñigo Martínez, who arrived from Athletic Club of Bilbao.
Laporta also has permission to negotiate the Dane’s departure.
