Barça seeks to lighten its salary bill
Barça faces a crucial summer in which it will have to make important decisions to improve its squad and become competitive again. However, the delicate economic situation of the club forces the technical office to be cautious in its signings.
Possible player departures
In order to sign, Barça will have to sell several players who do not fit into Xavi Hernández’s plans. Among the possible candidates to leave are Frenkie de Jong, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Ronald Araujo.
Araujo, the great sacrifice
According to the newspaper SPORT, Ronald Araujo could be the player most sacrificed by Barça. The Uruguayan has offers from Bayern Munich and Manchester United, and his departure would allow the club to earn a significant amount of money.
Reinforcements on the pivot and left end
Barça is clear that it needs to reinforce the defensive pivot and the left winger. For the center, the objective is Joshua Kimmich, one of the best players in the world in his position. For the left winger, the chosen one is Nico Williams, who has an affordable termination clause for the Catalan club.
The transfer of Araujo, a priority
The transfer of Ronald Araujo is one of Barça’s top priorities for the coming weeks. The club expects to earn around 90 million euros with its sale, which would be used to sign Kimmich and Williams. With these reinforcements, Barça hopes to be competitive again and fight for all the titles next season.
