As has already been reported on numerous occasions, there will be no major changes to the FC Barcelona squad in the January market.
Both Deco and coach Hansi Flick have made it clear that it is crucial to retain all current assets, given the blaugrana inability to sign or register new players due to Financial Fair Play restrictions.
Departures planned for the summer
However, when summer arrives, Barcelona has big plans for the departure of certain players from the current squad.
In fact, according to SPORT, Barça’s sporting director, Deco, has already been told that next summer the club will need to make important strategic sales of players.
He blaugrana They have budgeted a minimum of 80 million euros in player departures, although this figure could increase.
Barcelona, both out of necessity and sporting strategy, has made it clear that not all of the current squad will stay and that a new revolution is necessary, especially in certain positions.
There is an excess of central defenders and changes will also be made in the center of the field. These two areas are certain to see departures and, in some cases, the club has already started listening to offers for specific players.
Who could sell in 2025?
Both Deco and Flick have carefully analyzed the squad, identifying players who are surplus to requirements and could generate income for the club.
It is clear that there may be one or two departures in central defence, with Eric García and Andreas Christensen potentially sold.
The former could receive offers from the Premier League, while Christensen, who has not yet played due to injury, has a contract until 2026 and still has a significant market value.
In midfield, Pablo Torre, missing from the first team picture, is one of the players likely to be sidelined, while Frenkie de Jong, who has a very high salary, is also looking towards an uncertain future.
Both players know that they are not first-choice options and that they do not fully fit into the coach’s plans, so the club would be open to a permanent exit.
In attack, Ansu Fati will not be part of Barcelona’s future plans, and the club is even willing to offer him a contract termination to save salary.
