According to the article, as a result, every member of the Europa League-winning side was declared 'transferable' during the summer transfer window.The report went on to say that the Spanish club 'need' to sell in order to overcome their financial troubles, and that 'one or two' large exits would not enough.
The first players to be sold are major names such as Youssef En-Nesyri, Yassine Bounou, and Lucas Ocampos, with the latter already linked with a move to Premier League club Fulham.
The club is said to have approached clubs all over Europe, specifically Manchester United, the team they defeated on their road to the European title, in order to speed the rate at which they may offload their potential.According to the article, the concerns that have since been revealed played a factor in previous sporting director Monchi's departure to Aston Villa, as the club looks to balance the challenge of potential mass exodus amongst the players with presenting a competitive team in all competitions next season.
