Barcelona prepared to sell NINE senior stars to balance books

Barcelona are ready to make several major sales this summer to balance the books as they seek to recover from the coronavirus suspension.

Sport says Barca’s board believe transfer fees will drop at least 20 per cent across Europe as clubs adjust to being months without revenue from games.

As such, they’re prepared to sell off a raft of players to help with cash flow and cover existing wages.

Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal will headline those to move on, which will include striker Martin Braithwaite, goalkeeper Neto and defender Samuel Umtiti.

Philippe Coutinho, on-loan at Bayern Munich, will also be sold, as will fullbacks Junior Firpo and Nelson Semedo.

Antoine Griezmann could be another to be cashed in – but only to make room for PSG star Neymar and/or Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez, reports Sport.
