Barcelona have decided against extending contracts for many players in their squad such as Arturo Vidal and Ivan Rakitic in order to give a chance to the younger players in the squad to establish themselves at the Camp Nou.
The Spanish giants have also been heavily linked to sign many budding players such as Sandro Tonali, Fabian Ruiz and Eduardo Camavinga who are on the track to become exceptional players in the future.
