10 players Barcelona are prepared to sell for Lautaro Martinez

Nelson Semedo

Semedo is part of a creative transfer project of Barca, where the Catalan giants are looking to trade one Portuguese with another. Joao Cancelo of Manchester City is the man Barca are targetting in the hopes of later trading the City player for Inter’s Lautaro Martinez as the Italian sides are keen on signing Cancelo this summer. This would mean that Blaugrana will be lacking a proper right-back next season and they have targetted Juventus full-back, Mattia De Sciglio, to resolve this issue.

Rafinha Alcantara

Currently, on loan at Celta Vigo, Rafinha has been struggling to return to form ever since his injury. The La Masia graduate has one year remaining in his current contract and Barca are looking to sell the midfielder this summer by including him in an exchange deal. Inter Milan are interested in the midfielder but will not consider lowering Lautaro’s asking price for him.

Arturo Vidal

Arturo Vidal has been strongly linked with a move to Inter this summer with a recent report even suggesting that the deal is almost finalized where the only pending criteria is to reach an agreement for the player’s wages. If the salary offered is anything close to what he is currently getting at Barca, he will become the most paid footballer at Inter.

Ivan Rakitic

The Croatian midfielder has reached the end of his Barca career with millions of fans wising for the 32-year-old’s departure this summer. Rakitic’s form has been poor in recent years despite coach Quique Setien’s belief that the team performs their best when the trio of De Jong, Busquets, and Rakitic is out on the field. Inter Milan and Juventus have both enquired about his availability with Inter looking to include him in the Lautaro deal while Juve might be forced to settle for Rakitic after their initial request of Arthur Melo instead.
