5 players are packing their bags to leave Barcelona forever

As Deco himself, sports director of FC Barcelona, ​​recognizes in an interview published this Monday in La Vanguardia, the month of February is important in preparing the squad for next season. ” February is time to think about the future. Meetings with scouts, financial analysis to know what we can do and what we can’t… We’ve been like this for months ,” he says.

Both the sports management and the board of directors were caught off guard by Xavi’s decision not to continue as coach from June 30. They must find a coach for the next course, but they must also prepare and draw the template that the chosen one will have to direct. And they are there. In fact, as Deco says, they have been working for months now.

At the club, and president Joan Laporta himself has verbalized it, they are aware that an important player will have to leave this summer . The objective of the board of directors is to work to meet the budget set with the hope of being in the next transfer window in the 1-1 rule and having enough ‘Fair Play’ to make the necessary changes to the squad. but to enter they must also leave.

There could be a minimum of five casualties for Barça. There are two players whose contract ends on June 30: Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso . Xavi had asked for the captain’s renewal, but the departure of the Egarense coach seems to also cause the goodbye of the versatile player from Reus, whom the current coach is using this season in the midfield. Marcos Alonso’s loss seems certain.

Furthermore, it is more than unlikely that Oriol Romeu will remain in the squad . The one from Ulldecona has not been the center midfielder who offered such good performance in Girona last season and the player himself is about to leave after having become a regular on the bench. And these casualties could be added to those of a footballer to obtain a good sum of money.

A central defender could appear , with Araujo always being in the spotlight due to the news coming from Germany about Bayern’s interest in the Uruguayan . Other names like Christensen also appear in the pools. And no one is unaware that another footballer who may have a market is Raphinha , who is harmed by the appearance of Lamine Yamal as Giuly did with Messi’s appearance on his day.
