The FC Barcelona squad is still far from being defined for 2022-23. With renewals, signings and departures on hold, several players are waiting to define their future, including Clément Lenglet, Sergiño Dest and Ez Abde

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has gone out on holiday with a lot of pending players to define his future. Xavi Hernández already has left clear to players like Martin Braithwaite, Samuel Umtiti, Miralem Pjanic, Óscar Mingueza and Riqui Puig that it does not have they, but the club still has not defined his future. On the other hand, it is the case of Clément Lenglet, Sergiño Dest and Ez Abde, three players with what the team expects to do box in summer, depending on the incorporation of new signings.

This is the stage with Lenglet, whose agreement finalises in 2026. In principle, the arrival of Andreas Christensen would suppose his immediate exit, but until the signing of the Danish do not do official can not give at all by seated. In the last days, English means have ensured that the central could recalar in a club of the Premier League, although the newspaper 'SPORT' also has filtered the possible interest of the Seville in the French in front of the eventual exit of Jules Koundé.

By his part, the continuity of Sergiño Dest also would be subject to the possible incorporation of a right side, as it would be the case of César Azpilicueta. Xavi trusted the American in the final stretch of the season and, in principle, the player of 21 years does not have intentions to abandon the club with which has agreement until June of 2025. A similar situation lives Ez Abde, to the one who the technician egarense already has ensured an opportunity in the pre-season with the first team.

The Moroccan aims to remain in the staff in front of the imminent exit of Osumane Dembélé, although if the concrete directive some important arrival in attack (Rober Lewandowski), do box with the canterano would be an option to consider. Clubs of England and Germany already have asked after the extreme, by which offer will not be missing in Camp Nou if the sportive direction wants to transfer him.

Umtiti, Braithwaite and others 'headaches'

The cases of Braithwaite, Umtiti, Pjanic, Mingueza and Riqui Puig are much more complex. All know that they do not have place in the staff for the 2022-23 and, if they do not arrive offers to Catalonia, the things can complicate him a lot to the managerial blaugrana. The Barça would contemplate to give him letter of freedom, for example, to Puig and to Braithwaite, but the high index cards of players like Umtiti and Pjanic (the one who returned of his cession to the Beşiktaş) complicate his exit. In the case of Mingueza, the club already has taken the decision of not to transfer him by less than 10 million euros. Anyway, the summer hardly begins and of here until 31 August can suceder anything.
