FC Barcelona continues with various fronts open in this summer transfer market
While all focus is on the players that could arrive, the departures will be part of the management and will examine the work of Eric Abidal and Ramón Planes at the helm of the technical secretariat, right after arriving.
Sport explains how the departure operation of the Catalan team has already begun
It started with the sale of Gerard Deulofeu for €12M plus €4M in variables. The young midfielder was the first to leave, but more departures are expected from the Barcelona team for higher amounts.
A sum of €35M will be requested for Paco Alcácer and Rafinha, while André Gomes is on display for around €30M. Munir El Haddadi would cost €20M, Marlon Santos €15M, and Aleix Vidal around €10M. So, even though it will be difficult to sell all of them, the idea of the club is to raise more than €100M.
That was the amount set in the Antoine Griezmann transfer, which is unlikely to happen, but the money could be used for other objectives, such as strengthening the midfield.
