Key Barcelona players are set to depart to secure the signings of promising new talents for the upcoming season.
FC Barcelona is about to make some major changes to their squad with the January signing of Joan Garcia and Nico Williams, two breakout stars who hope to turn the club around.
The Catalan team is planning a careful transfer window that will facilitate both Garcia and Williams’ signing and registration with La Liga.
Barcelona is working within a difficult financial climate.
Despite the obstacles, they are aiming for an aggressive strategy that tries to balance their books while improving their squad under Hansi Flick.
To free up money and space for their economic commitments, the club anticipates needing to sell several players.
Among those are: Ansu Fati, Pau Víctor, Pablo Torre, Iñaki Peña, Andreas Christensen, Oriol Romeu, and Marc-André ter Stegen, as reported by ffpolo.
Ansu Fati, the young superstar, is rumored to head to Monaco, while Pau Víctor and Pablo Torre should be excited by the prospect of regular playing time elsewhere; both are still very young players.
Iñaki Peña and Ter Stegen are both goalkeepers, and their futures are uncertain, especially Ter Stegen, whose name persistently comes up with a move to Galatasaray.
There are also Christensen and Romeu, whose playing time with the team has decreased significantly, leading the team to want to unload their contracts and free up wages.
This mass exodus will create a cash flow and minimize the salary burden currently on Barca’s books and facilitate Garcia’s €25 million transfer fee, as well as negotiating under Williams’ €62 million buyout clause.
It also represents Barcelona’s insistence on youth and sustainability.
Garcia’s transfer will enhance Barcelona’s goalkeeper department, and Williams’ style may change the attacking frontline with Yamal.
If all stays in line, the near-term changes may alter the trajectory of the whole club and a period of transition for Camp Nou.
