In a bold and unexpected move, FC Barcelona is preparing to sell several key players, with Brazilian winger Raphinha at the top of the list, as part of a radical reshaping of the squad this summer.
🔻 What’s Happening: Sources close to the club reveal that Barça’s leadership, under Hansi Flick and Deco, have decided to cash in on valuable assets to fund the signing of a world-class striker who can lead the club’s new era of dominance.
🔁 Players Likely to Be Sold:
🇧🇷 Raphinha – Despite flashes of brilliance, the club sees him as expendable to fund a marquee arrival.
🇪🇸 Ferran Torres – Inconsistent performances have led Barça to consider serious offers.
🇺🇾 Ronald Araújo – Could be sacrificed if a mega bid arrives, despite being a defensive rock.
🇫🇷 Jules Koundé – Also on the radar of top Premier League clubs.
🔍 Target in Sight:
Barcelona’s ultimate goal is to land a top-tier striker — someone who can immediately deliver 20+ goals per season. Names such as:
Victor Gyökeres
Alexander Isak
Benjamin Sesko
Or even a shock bid for Lautaro Martínez
are being internally discussed.
📉 Why This Matters: Barcelona’s return to La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule gives them more flexibility, but major signings still require significant sales due to Financial Fair Play constraints. The board believes this aggressive approach is necessary to close the gap with Real Madrid and make a serious UCL push.
🗣️ Deco and Flick are fully aligned — it’s time to build a leaner, deadlier squad built around youth, energy, and elite quality.
