The sportive direction of the FC Barcelona follows scheduling the staff of the next season, for which there are key names in matter of signings -as the ones of Lautaro Martínez (Inter of Milan) or Miralem Pjanic (Juventus of Turín)- that already are about to candy. Nevertheless, the sales also go to play an important paper of face to the next campaign.
The Barça needs to square his balances and for this has to take out a good figure in sales, that rondaría the 124 million euros. But besides, already it was in more traspasos or in cessions, will have to lighten a staff so that in the next season there will be an important 'overbooking', with 35 players adding the ones of the current staff, the already made signings, the canteranos usual in the first team and the turns of cession.
In total, the first staff culé account now with 19 players: the goalkeepers Marc-André ter Stegen and Net; the defences Nélson Semedo, Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo and Jordi Alba; the midfield players Sergi Roberto, Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal, Frenkie of Jong and Arthur; and the leading Leo Messi, Luis Suárez, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembélé and Martin Braithwaite.
To all they it is necessary to add the six canteranos usual with the first team: Iñaki Crag, Ronald Araújo, Monchu, Riqui Puig, Àlex Hill and Ansu Fati. Also the nine that go back of cession: Matheus Fernandes, Moussa Wagué, Jean-Clair Todibo, Juan Miranda, Oriol Busquets, Carles Aleñá, Pedri, Rafinha Alcántara and Philippe Coutinho. And, of course, the number 35: Francisco Trincao, signing that left 'tied' in winter.
From the FC Barcelona, the intention is to have a short staff of around 20 footballers, by what will have to resolve the exit of roughly minimum some 15. Of course, they are missing for concretising signings like the ones of Lautaro or Pjanic, what would increase the number of sales or cessions to concretise. The technical office, then , will have a lot of work.
The key names
Players like Net, Nélson Semedo, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo, Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal or Martin Braithwaite are in the market and the Barça expects to take out money or interesting barters with them. Besides, of which return of cession, only has Carles Aleñá and the rest could be sold or again yielded. A lot of incógnitas in a market complicated after the pandemia.
