On this Christmas morning, FC Barcelona hopes to find solutions under its tree to replenish its coffers. For several years now, the residents of Camp Nou have been experiencing financial difficulties. And when the time comes for the transfer window, the managers count on possible sales to bring them money. In 2025, this will still be the case. This Wednesday, Sport reveals that Joan Laporta has set very clear objectives for his sporting director Deco.
Indeed, the Catalan president informed him that important strategic sales will have to take place next summer and that the club intends to sell at least €80 million. But the FCB obviously hopes to pocket more money. There should therefore be some cleaning up in defense, where there are too many players according to the board, and in the midfield, where the club intends to let go.
Barça has designated its undesirables
As for this winter, Hansi Flick and his management are more likely to continue with the present group. But the door is not completely double-locked for certain elements. This is the case of Ansu Fati. If a sporting proposition interesting enough for everyone arrives and allows him to regain his level and a good market value, Barça will say yes.
Even if Fati is not necessarily moving, Barça has placed him in its list of transferable elements and is counting on Saudi Arabia, this summer at the latest, to recruit him. In defense, Eric Garcia, who would like to stay this winter, and Andreas Christensen will not be retained at all costs. Same in the middle with Pablo Torre and Frenkie de Jong. A player with a significant salary who has still not extended his lease. For them, the Catalans would welcome a departure in a positive way.
