With the start of the month of July, FC Barcelona intends to accelerate to move in the summer transfer market. There are several 'folders' that the blaugrana will seek to close in the coming weeks

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Although from it does a few weeks have announced movements, this Saturday has begun of official way the market of signings and a new exercise in the European football. From now and until 31 August, the FC Barcelona and rest of teams will have free road to negotiate with players of face to configure the staff of face to the season 2023-2024. The game, that was in the stadium until does some weeks, raisin to the dispatches.

From the City Condal there are a lot of urgencies, more than which wanted to. Xavi Hernández has asked that it reinforce the changing room and find him gone out to the players with which do not explain. Already they have pleased him with one of the footballers that had in his diary, İlkay Gündoğan, but the work is far to be completed. Hardly it goes beginning, in fact. And the sportive direction has to apurarse to avoid that they delay the operations.

The sale of players continues being a priority

In July, the Barça pretends desatascar the operation gone out, definitively. Already they have completed the rescission of the agreement of Samuel Umtiti, but desconoce if it has 'forgiven' the wage that corresponded him earn until 2026. To put it in context, in this course touched him ingresar 20 million gross euros by the money that had differed in January of 2020, when it accessed to renew, renounced to almost all his wage, so that the club could inscribe to the fichajess (Ferran Torres, between them).

It has been the first operation of the Barça and, for now, desconoce if will have positive effect or no in the margin salarial. In any case, need to follow insisting in the sale of players. The next names to which will look for him destination are Sergiño Dest, Álex Hill and Nico González, whereas it will continue negotiating the sale of Clément Lenglet to the Tottenham, although in these last days has cooled .

Likewise, when they return the footballers of his holidays of summer will be vital that define which pieces of the first team will leave . Until it does very little, the big signalled were Ferran Torres, Franck Kessié, Ansu Fati or Eric García, but the signals of the club are garbled and, to day of today, does not know -for sure- who will do his cases to abandon the City Condal.

Advances in the possible signings?

To measure that they go going out the players, the club will be able to follow bringing to reinforcements. It is slope the announcement of the traspaso of Iñigo Martínez, with the one who there is agreement from does weeks so that it reinforce the defence of Xavi Hernández. It is a similar case to the of Vitor Roque. There is a principle of agreement to complete his traspaso by 35 million fixed euros, more other ten in variables, but have not signed the documents and several sources signal that it could finish 'parking' so that it arrive to Barcelona in 2024, when the Fair Play allow it.

Simultaneously, the sportive direction works in the incorporations of Burn Güler and Iván Fresneda, but in spite of the last informations, the traspasos are not so 'tied' neither concretised. It has not achieved the "ok" of any and in the club pretend to extend the negotiations until they are given the condicioness (by the limit salarial). In the case of the 'jewel' Turkish, his price round the 17,5 million euros, but the intention is that it remain a year more and ficharlo in 2024. With the Madrilenian, has not presented offer and the AC Milan would be very near to reach an agreement, in personal terms, with his agents.
