Barcelona transfer news: Catalan giants looking to get rid of TEN players
According to reports from Diario SPORT, the FC Barcelona transfer list consists of up to 10 players that could be seeking a future away from the Noup Camp outfit and switch clubs in the summer transfer window. The FC Barcelona debt has been a massive issue in the recent past which has had a massive impact on the club's ability to sign players in the recent transfer windows.
The Catalan giants also boast of a massive wage bill and are looking to get rid of players demanding astronomical figures in the summer. Currently, very few players considered “untouchable" by the club's management with the majority of them set to be sold if they get the right offer. The massive change in the squad could see many players bid their goodbye in the summer as club president Joan Laporta looks to sort out the team for the upcoming season.
Who is leaving Barcelona?
The number of players leaving FC Barcelona could go as high as 10 players with the club looking to get rid of over players in the upcoming summer transfer window. Reports from Diario SPORT suggest that Neto, Riqui Puig, Miralem Pjanić, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo, Matheus, Martin Braithwaite, Philippe Coutinho, Ousmane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann are on their way out of this summer. FC Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto has also been reported to leave the club in the summer as the Blaugrana outfit looks to sell the 29-year-old to recoup some money and avoid seeing him leave on a free transfer next season.
With the likes of Martin Braithwaite, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembélé rumoured to leave the club, FC Barcelona are reported to rope in the likes of Sergio Aguero and Memphis Depay on a free transfer in the summer. Both the stars have been liked with a move for FC Barcelona for quite a while as various reports suggest that Aguero has already agreed to join Barcelona while talks with Memphis Depay are rumoured to be in the "advanced stages".

The Catalan giants also remain unclear about Ronald Koeman future alongside Lionel Messi. Messi saw his contract with FC Barcelona expire last week and with the club hoping to secure his services for the upcoming season as well. It will be particularly interesting to see how FC Barcelona approaches the upcoming summer transfer window as new club president Joan Laporta aims to turn the tide around and take the club out of the financial mess ahead of the upcoming 2021-22 season.
