A summer of exits for six top Barcelona stars is now looking increasingly likely, with the club open to offers for the group.
As the summer transfer window reaches its critical climax, manager Hansi Flick is leaving no doubt about his strict tactical standards at Spotify Camp Nou.
With Barcelona aiming to refine their squad dynamic, optimize youth development, and streamline payroll parameters before the registration deadline, technical discussions between Flick and sporting director Deco have led to decisive squad cuts.
Flick’s decision to train these six players separately from the main group underlines a deliberate strategy to shield them from mid-session injury risks that could disrupt ongoing transfer negotiations.
The list of players set to leave Spotify Camp Nou consists of central midfielder Marc Casadó, right-back Héctor Fort, left-back Jofre Torrents, midfielder Tommy Marqués, and attacking brothers Guille Fernández and Toni Fernández, as reported by Fichajes.
Headlining the group is Marc Casadó, who remained behind during recent pre-season fixtures as his representatives evaluate lucrative proposals, including strong interest from Saudi Arabia.
Concurrently, full-back Jofre Torrents is finalizing terms on a permanent move to Ajax, while Héctor Fort is preparing for another loan spell following his stint at Elche.
Meanwhile, Tommy Marqués, Guille Fernández, and Toni Fernández are actively weighing competitive offers to step away from the reserve side in search of guaranteed senior minutes elsewhere.
Rather than carrying a bloated squad through pre-season, the German manager has made clear to Deco that only players fully aligned with his high-intensity pressing scheme will form part of the final roster.
While moving on from promising homegrown talents carries an emotional weight for the club, Flick’s decisive management style establishes absolute clarity heading into the new season.
With negotiations proceeding rapidly across multiple European clubs, Barcelona’s squad roster is undergoing its final major adjustments before domestic competition resumes.
