From the sports management of FC Barcelona, there seems to be full certainty that, even if they manage to balance their accounts with financial fair play and start operating under the 1/1 rule, to have sufficient economic solvency to face different incorporations, they must address the 'exit operation' with some speed. That said, with a precision worthy of the most seasoned of surgeons.
Although the Blaugrana team has timidly started to make moves to let go of pieces like Marc Guiu (6 million euros) and Oriol Romeu (loan), and obtain around nine million euros for 50% of the capital gain of Chadi Riad, the Barcelona side has not yet made a truly risky maneuver to shake up the market. An action that could be classified as the long-awaited million-dollar sales that could generate significant financial benefits for the club's coffers.
At this point, beyond the sales that are on the agenda, such as those of defender Clément Lenglet and forward Vitor Roque, along with Julián Araujo's, who seems to be quite close to joining AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League, FC Barcelona apparently has four other names on its list whose sales could amount to quite attractive sums for the Catalan entity. These players would be classified as 'heavyweights' of the culé squad.
The other 4 names that appear on FC Barcelona's sales agenda
In this regard, as journalist Gerard Romero pointed out, at this stage of the summer market, FC Barcelona would have three 'top' players on its list: İlkay Gündoğan, Frenkie de Jong, and Raphinha, as well as another player who, although not labeled as a star, has proven to be a highly effective game-changer: Ferran Torres. These four culés could change clubs this summer.
Based on this premise, and as recently mentioned by FCBN, Barcelona expects to receive around 30 million euros for Ferran Torres. Additionally, Manchester United is reportedly preparing a proposal to acquire Frenkie de Jong for around 60 million 'euros'. Although the exact amounts have not been disclosed, it is clear that İlkay Gündoğan is of interest in Turkish football, with a possible transfer fee between 20 and 30 million euros.
On the other hand, regarding Raphinha, who surely has no shortage of suitors, offers in the range of 50 to 70 'million euros' could be expected. All these scenarios must be evaluated by a Barcelona that must proceed cautiously with each step to avoid creating unnecessary cracks in Hansi Flick's budding sporting project.
