Exciting times at FC Barcelona
After acquiring the services of Brazilian midfielder Philippe Coutinho (€120M + €40M in variables) and Colombian defender Yerry Mina (€11.8M), the FC Barcelona board is now focusing on finding new homes for those players who are no longer part of Ernesto Valverde's plans.
Although this task seems really challenging, the Catalan club remains optimistic and aims to obtain a total of €80M from the sale of four players who have either completed their cycle at the club or have failed to meet expectations.
In the first group, we have Javier Mascherano, the Argentine defender for whom the club expects to receive around €10M from Hebei China Fortune, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. In the second group, we have Brazilian midfielder Rafinha, who is valued at €40M, and Spanish players Aleix Vidal and Gerard Deulofeu, who could potentially bring in €10M and €20M respectively.
Additionally, the club will also try to find a way for Arda Turan to leave. However, in this case, Barcelona would be satisfied with freeing up his spot and avoiding the payment of his high wages, as it seems unlikely for any club to pay for a player who hasn't played a single minute so far this season.
