Barca open to off -loading eight players this summer

Barcelona will reportedly consider parting ways with eight players during the summer transfer window.

The Catalan giants have improved considerably since the arrival of Xavi, who has seen January arrivals Adama Traore, Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang make immediate impacts.

However, despite thrashing Real Madrid by a 4-0 scoreline last time out, there is expected to be a high turnover of players later in 2022 as Xavi and club officials look to put together a squad capable of challenging for trophies in the long term.

For that to be achieved, sales will have to be made, and according to AS, Barcelona are prepared to let eight players depart Camp Nou ahead of 2022-23.

Neto, Sergi Roberto, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Oscar Mingueza, Riqui Puig, Martin Braithwaite and Luuk de Jong are all said to feature on that list.

Memphis Depay, whose contract expires in 2023, may also feature on that list, depending on whether Barcelona view the Dutch attacker as a long-term option.
