Barça is losing effectiveness this season, but it is also in a period of growth. And what is clear is that important sales will have to continue to be made in order to sign more players. The economic situation is not improving and Joan Laporta is forced to make painful decisions to refloat the Barcelona club. And what the president of Barça understands is that he now has to do without two important footballers .
Barça must sell important players
Little by little the weeks go by and it is becoming more and more clear which are the players who have a future in this Barça and which are the ones that will have to pack their bags . The Blaugrana team needs to have important players in all positions and who have a high performance at all times. If the players do not do their job well, then they will have to open the exit door for them.
And as reported by Sport , Joan Laporta has already determined what the first two super sales should be to start restructuring Barça . The two players who are expendable, although they have minutes and are top-class, are Jules Kounde and Raphinha . Two footballers who are part of Xavi Hernández’s plans, but who are disappointing in almost every game they play .
Kounde’s case is the most worrying, as he is a regular starter out of necessity. The French defender acts as a right-back as a matter of urgency , since Joao Cancelo is a left-back. And he hasn’t earned his spot as a central defender. A complicated situation, but playing many minutes because there is no other choice.
And Raphinha , who thought he would be the undisputed starter because Ousmane Dembélé had left, has seen how a 16-year-old boy like Lamine Yamal has passed in front of him . And from Barça they believe that the bet for the future is the young footballer from La Masia rather than the Brazilian.
This means that Barça could bring in 100 million euros with the sum of these two super sales . The truth is that the Barcelona club needs money and the best way to get it is to get rid of players who are well valued financially.
And Kounde and Raphinha ‘s exits , while not guaranteed, are the most likely at this point. Two expendable players who will be easily replaced when they are no longer part of Barça’s first team next season.
