Barcelona is expected to sell nine players this summer, including Frenkie de Jong, as Xavi attempts to rebuild his squad following a poor season.
Xavi has made it plain that they need to bring in reinforcements in order to contend for the LaLiga title and return to the Champions League.
However, the Catalan giants will be obliged to sell players in order to bring in new recruits, putting a full host of stars on the market.
Neto, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, Oscar Mingueza, Samuel Umtiti, Frenkie de Jong, Riqui Puig, Memphis Depay, and Martin Braithwaite, according to Marca, will be available this summer.
Barcelona has reportedly set a £58 million asking price for de Jong, with Manchester City and Manchester United both keeping an eye on the issue.
De Jong has been a fixture in the Barcelona team this season, appearing 42 times in all competitions and scoring four goals and providing five assists.
However, it is currently thought that he will be moved away in order for Xavi to continue his team rebuilding.
After just one year in Spain, Tottenham and Napoli are reportedly interested in signing Depay.
The 28-year-old joined on a free transfer from Lyon last summer, while the other seven are expected to garner interest from some of Europe's top clubs, helping to clear the wage bill for new signings.
Dani Alves and Ousmane Dembele were out of contract in the summer and have yet to sign new contracts, so the clear-out could continue.
Luuk de Jong and Adama Traore are currently on loan at Barcelona and will be expected to return to their parent clubs unless a permanent agreement can be negotiated.
Philippe Coutinho, Trincao, and Miralem Pjanic are currently on loan at Aston Villa, Wolves, and Besiktas, respectively, and will return to Xavi's team this summer, albeit the trio may leave.
Antoine Griezmann is another player on loan at Atletico Madrid, although he still has a month left on his loan term, which he is expected to extend. Barcelona has reportedly reached agreements with both AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie and Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen on new signings.
This summer, they've also been linked with Chelsea's Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso, as well as Leeds winger Raphinha and Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski.
