The following six players who are out on loan this season are also available to buy at the right price; Inaki Pena, Alex Collado, Philippe Coutinho, Miralem Pjanic, Francisco Trincao and Rey Manaj.These seven players are Ansu Fati, Pedri, Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Nico Gonzalez, Eric Garcia and January signing Ferran Torres.They are considered to be the nucleus of the team and squad in terms of building the next great Barcelona side.
Every other player registered to Barcelona – all 24 of them in the senior squad – are considered sellable at the right price.These are goalkeepers Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Neto, defenders Sergino Dest, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves (contract expiring), Jordi Alba, Oscar Mingueza and Samuel Umtiti, midfielders Sergio Busquets, Riqui Puig, Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong, and attackers Ousmane Dembele (expiring), Memphis Depay, Adama Traore (on loan), Martin Braithwaite, Luuk de Jong (on loan) and prolific January signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.Laporta believes that all of these players are upgradeable and that funds made from their sales can be used to buy better players.
Of course, not all 24 players will be sold, but Laporta has a clear vision over who he sees as the future of Barcelona and who is expendable.
