Next summer is set to be a big transfer window for Barcelona.

Despite returning to the 1:1 rule in La Liga, reports from Spain claim the Blaugrana will need to sell players to refund arrivals.

Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen and Ansu Fati have all been linked with moves away but they are not expected to bring in big fees.

With Barca linked with big-money moves for the likes of Alexander Isak and Luis Diaz, they could be forced to sell an important player.

Ronald Araujo reportedly has a release clause €65million release clause with the likes of Juventus and Arsenal monitoring his situation.

However, recent reports have claimed that Hansi Flick might have to part ways with his best player.

Fichajes cited by Football London have claimed that Manchester United are set to make a move for Barcelona’s Raphinha next summer.

The report states that the Blaugrana talisman could be available for £60million.

It is being rumoured that this potential transfer saga could also involve Nico Williams.

The Spanish winger has been linked with a move to Arsenal, Liverpool and Barcelona over the past few months.

With Barca looking for a long-term option on the left wing, selling Raphinha could fund Williams’ signing.

The Brazilian was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia last summer but declined the offer, instead focusing on improving under Hansi Flick, something which has proven to be the correct decision.

With Raphinha currently the favourite for the Ballon d’Or, £60million seems like a steal for a Premier League side, especially when you consider he has experience in the league.
