As the summer transfer window enters its final week, Barcelona is preparing for potential last-minute departures to address its ongoing financial fair play challenges.

The club is working diligently to finalize exits to free up salary space and ensure the registration of key signings for their upcoming La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano.

While the squad is nearly set, the club remains open to further moves if players express a desire to leave and bring offers that meet the club’s expectations.

The players currently on the verge of departure include Inaki Pena, Oriol Romeu, and Hector Fort, whose exits are crucial to registering new additions like Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin, and Roony Bardghji, as reported by  Mundo Deportivo.

These moves are part of Barcelona’s strategy to comply with La Liga’s financial regulations.

However, reports suggest that the club is bracing for additional exits before the September 1 deadline.

Head coach Hansi Flick is satisfied with the squad once the planned departures are completed, but the door remains ajar for others who might seek more playing time elsewhere.

Barcelona’s stance is clear: any player wishing to leave must present a firm offer that satisfies all parties.

Speculation has swirled around La Masia graduates Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado, who have been linked with potential late exits.

Despite interest from other clubs, both players have reiterated their commitment to staying at the Camp Nou, focusing on earning their place under Flick’s management.

Their resolve strengthens Barcelona’s core, but the club’s openness to offers keeps the transfer rumor mill churning.

With just days remaining, Barcelona’s management is navigating a delicate balance between squad stability and financial compliance.

The potential for unexpected departures adds intrigue to the final stretch of the window.

If any player pushes for a move and secures a suitable offer, the club is prepared to act swiftly.

For now, Barcelona fans await clarity as the deadline looms, with the club poised to finalize their squad for the season ahead.
