The directive of the FC Barcelona works to make the staff of face to the second half of the season and with the lupa put in the 2021-2022. Xavi Hernández already has given the seen well to several exits to go down mass salarial and facilitate the arrival of new signings in the summer. In this sense, Riqui Puig and Óscar Mingueza are two of the players in ramp of exit.

Nevertheless, Dest also has manifested his wish to remain and, for the moment, there are not offers by him. This season, Sergiño has alternated the place of side with the one of extreme by right, without too much success.

Contrary case is the one of Óscar Mingueza. As 'Superdeporte', Valencia advances the negotiation for ficharle like yielded until June, without option of compulsory purchase. José Bordalás has chosen him like better option to replace to Daniel Wass, the one who has agreed his traspaso to the Athletic of Madrid.

The cession of Mingueza could facilitate a change of index cards between Valencia and the Barça. The culés have manifested his interest by José Luis Gayà, although the player seems decided to renew with the team 'che'. Xavi would approve his arrival to reinforce the left side, where today Jordi Alba does not have clear-cut replacement.

A more feasible barter would be by gestarse with the Ajax. In Barcelona want to Nicolás Tagliafico and Alejandro Balde would be key in the operation. The Barça looks for to yield to the canterano of 18 years to give him shooting, since with Xaxi will not have too many minutes. However, the Napoli also bids by Tagliafico and, according to Italian means, already have made an offer of 7 million euros by the side.
