Barcelona to raise 100 million euros by closing four grand departures
Barcelona are set to receive a figure close to 100 million euros
The impact that COVID-19 has had on most football clubs has left them with no other option but to sell players in the transfer window to garner funds and Barcelona find themselves in the same situation. The Catalans are eager on making amends over the summer, however, with a limited budget it would be an immense task for the club.

Barca has several targets on their agenda to sign including Neymar, Lautaro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and so on. None of the signings would come easy for the club this summer and given the performance in the 2019/20 season, Barca certainly requires a few signings that could help rebuild the team.
Apart from the aged squad that Quique Setien faces, another serious issue that has limited the transfer budget is the wage structure at the club.
Several consistent performers like Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Clement Lenglet are heavily underpaid and players such as Samuel Umtiti, Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann heavily overpaid.
It is rumoured that the Catalans are willing to sell several players from the club and some reports state that the club would let seven players leave at the end of the season.
Having said that, here is a list of the three players Barca could sell over the summer and raise up to 90-100 million euros.
