Barcelona's summer transfers are getting active again but this time it's the departures that rule the headlines. Barcelona have just rolled the green light to proceed with an immense summer exodus to sort out the accounts before the deadly 30 June date.
Barca’s greatest ‘what-if’
The dominoes are already falling, Ansu Fati’s lifetime bond with Catalonia is to end on an emotional note when he lands at Monaco on a €11m permanent transfer deal. This marks the definitive close to one of Barca’s greatest ‘what-if’.
Barca's goalkeeper clearance
Fati's transfer will be confirmed in tandem with Inaki Pena, who just left for €3m on a quick sale to the Greek club Panathinaikos. However, this overhaul does not just target the fringe.
We've reported before that Marc-Andre ter Stegen is to set leave Barcelona this summer. Given Hansi Flick intends to establish a clear hierarchy in the goalkeeping department with the endorsement of Joan Garcia, the German veteran will look for minutes away from La Liga pressure.
Ajax are the most interested option, on a one-year loan where he will benefit from a full starting XI with the previous coach of Girona, Michel, who’s taken charge of the Amsterdam club. This would be a fantastic loan for the German goalkeeper.
The man who never became
The youth ranks and midfield are no less exempt. Marc Casado is also a ready-made exit, Barcelona is seeking a transfer with a hefty price of €20-30 million so that he is sold definitively, complemented by Roony Bardghji who is seeking a loan transfer as he needs first-team action.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is aggressively clearing the house and now is the moment for dead weight and large wages to leave town so that the Blaugrana can make more incoming moves during the window.
