The viable plan outlined by Barcelona and which needs to be approved by La Liga must be geared towards the goals set in terms of the transaction. The club had committed to selling a number of players before recruiting new players and candidates to leave were identified weeks in advance.
Just yesterday, President Joan Laporta threw the ball at Ansu Fati's camp to stay or go and above all make it clear that everything will depend on the decision between the sports management and the technical staff. And that's when Xavi Hernandez will have to roll up his sleeves to make a coup.
Director of football Matteo Alemany is still meeting with representatives of the players expected to leave, but the coach will have to speak with the players this week to get them to understand his views:
at Barcelona they won't get any chance and the best they can do for themselves and for the club is to go to another team. The club waited until officially winning the LaLiga championship to speak initially because it was not good to know that some colleagues had to leave at a sensitive time of the season. They have been told that Barcelona need to make big cuts before June 30 and most importantly save wages for new signings.
Barcelona have always made it clear that there will be no unintended sale unless a key player requests to leave when they receive a huge amount of money. For this reason, the club will prioritize selling players who have played the fewest minutes.
For now, the first list is limited to Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, Franck Kesseh and Jordi Alba. These four players will be free to hear offers and, in some cases, have advanced negotiations over their departure pending player approval.
Conversations with Xavi will only make it clear that the club want them to leave this summer. No matter how painful, the club was forced to sell these funds to strengthen the squad with big contracts.
