FC Barcelona is poised for a squad shake-up, with three key players likely to depart this summer as the club plans for the future.
The recent La Liga success of FC Barcelona, adding a domestic treble in the first season of Hansi Flick’s managerial career, has led to celebrations within the club, though they will continue to think ahead.
Sporting director Deco and Flick are working tirelessly to complete renewal contracts, identify key signings, and remove players from the roster, as Barcelona’s financial leeway is not what the club would prefer.
Following this lucrative season, three players are likely to leave the Camp Nou in the summer transfer window, according to AS.
Included in this trio are Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Pau Victor. Fati needed a regular period of firstly a proper loan experience, still under injury, and then a lack of consistent playing time throughout the year under Flick.
Ansu Fati resisted a move in January but now remains at peace with the idea that it’s time to have a fresh start in the next chapter of his career, while all parties involved evaluate opportunities, and Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, continues their search for a team.
Torre, a promising midfielder, has been underused in light of stars such as Dani Olmo, Fermín López, and Gavi, limiting his match time notwithstanding his eye-catching cameos.
Likewise, Victor is low in the queue behind attackers like Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal, so the outcome looks to be of question of when.
While these three are all but certain, more could come in other areas, especially defense, where player futures are uncertain.
Barcelona, in continuing their proactive efforts, intends to strike a balance between squad depth and financial standing, leaving them in a place of competitiveness on all fronts.
As Flick and Deco are concluding the ultimate details of their strategy, an eventful summer transfer window begins.
With these outgoings, the clear potential exists to bring in players who can help Barcelona achieve another season of trophies.
