The participation of the players with which Koeman does not explain in the next friendly will be key so that the Barça have possibility to sell to varied of his descartes

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona needs to advance in his 'operation gone out' after several weeks stagnated. The club needs of urgent way free the changing room and do him a gap to Leo Messi and the rest of signings of this summer. For this, have to concretise the sale of the footballers with which Ronald Koeman does not explain of face to the season 2021-2022 and continue insisistiendo in the discount salarial of the 'heavy weights' of the Barcelona entity.

They are varied the players that are in the ramp of exit and the club has to encourage to achieve his cessions or traspasos, but the situation is more than complicated because they are few the offers that arrive to the offices of the Camp Nou (or any), in addition to the problems with the -high- available prices (by the amortizaciones pending) and the astronomical wages that have many of the players that are in the available shop window.

However, the mission of the club is to insist to the end of the market in the exit of players like Samuel Umtiti, Miralem Pjanic, Philippe Coutinho, Martin Braithwaite, Clément Lenglet, Antoine Griezman... Among others that they can help to the Barcelona to do box and free in a big percentage the mass salarial. Of there that it was key the 'stage' in Germany, where the FC Barcelona will contest two friendly parties, in front of the Stuttgart (31 July, 18:00 h) and RB Salzburg (4 August, 19:00 h).

The 'descartes' of the culés will be in the focus and from the City Condal expect that cuajen good performances to have more options to sell them or yield them in the weeks to come. Footballers like Umtiti, Pjanic, Griezmann and Lenglet, that already are incorporated in the trainings and carry a few sessions working under the orders of Ronald Koeman, are those that more pressure have, since they are the first in the line of exit of the club.

Reviewing the 'record' of the last weeks, the situation for the culés is, a priori, really delicate. Umtiti Is erased of all the lists of interests of the European clubs and his wage of 12 million euros will complicate any transaction. Pjanic, by his part, has been related with a movement to Italy (Inter and Juventus, attentive to his situation), whereas Lenglet would have received an offer of the Rome of José Mourinho to play in the Series To. Any of the operations has advanced of concrete way.

The 'case Griezmann', the most delicate

Considering that to the Barça subtracts him for amortising 80 million euros of the traspaso of Antoine Griezmann from the Athletic of Madrid and that the wage of the French forward would surpass the 40 'kilos' by season, to the blaugrana them 'atraganta' his exit because, as it is the market, anybody goes to pay a traspaso in conditions. Already the Athletic of Madrid warned that, although it wants the return of one of his stars, can not assume his annual wage.

From the offices of the City Condal are very conscious of this and, in fact, Mateu Alemany, director of football of the Barcelona entity, recognised it in a press conference. "We are in a special market in which there is little financial availability and a lot of imagination with the exchange of footballers. We value a lot to Antoinne. It is a top player", said the director of football of the Barça. "It will not be easy that there is an offer the sufficiently interesting so that it go out. They have given situations that we have not posed and will see what goes to suceder".
