The FC Barcelona season is reaching the final sprint. The accounts can begin to be done after the double confrontation against PSG then the Clasico against Real Madrid. For this summer, the Catalan club can already worry. The transfer window is not looking good. Still plagued by financial difficulties, the Catalan club will have difficulty renewing the adventures of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo, both on loan from Atlético de Madrid and Manchester City respectively. Negotiations have not really started for the attacking midfielder but for the full-back, the Blaugrana are not in a strong position. The Cityzens want a transfer this time and hope to recover €50 million.

According to Sport, Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia is very interested. We do not yet know the intentions of the player, who wanted to stay in Europe this season. Barça will also struggle to keep Inigo Martinez. Slowly put on the bench due to injuries and the emergence of Pau Cubrasi, the central defender has an astonishing contractual situation. His lease lasts until 2025 (privately) at the club but for the league, it ends next June due to financial fair play. Sport reports that as things stand, the club is planning next season without the Basque, who arrived free last summer. For the moment, Barça's finances do not allow this continuity to be ensured.
