Major rebuild underway as club seeks funds for striker, midfielder, and possibly a new goalkeeper.
Barcelona is preparing for a dramatic squad overhaul, with nine players placed on the transfer list, per Sport. With manager Hansi Flick’s tactical demands and financial pressure mounting, the Catalan giants are ready to make painful decisions to refresh their team.
Players Listed for Sale:
Iñaki Peña – Backup keeper likely to make way.
Ronald Araujo – Shock inclusion; valued for market appeal.
Héctor Fort – Young defender may leave for more minutes.
Fermín López – Promising but not guaranteed minutes under Flick.
Gavi – Bombshell name on the list; would only leave for an enormous offer.
Frenkie de Jong – Could be sold if he refuses contract extension.
Pablo Torre – Returning from loan; unlikely to find first-team space.
Pau Víctor – Fringe name; part of wider squad trimming.
Ansu Fati – Once Messi’s heir; now deemed expendable due to form and injury.
Why It Matters:
Barcelona’s summer priorities include a top striker, an attacking midfielder, and a goalkeeper (if Szczęsny doesn’t sign). The club must raise funds through sales, with Flick prioritizing players who fit his pressing, fast-transition system.
The inclusion of Gavi and De Jong highlights the seriousness of this rebuild. It’s no longer about potential—Barcelona want results and financial stability now.
More to come as PSG reportedly start talks for a major Barcelona star, and
other European giants circle.
