Barcelona are desperate to find buyers for Philippe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann.
Marca says as part of their planned clearout, a crucial moment has arrived, which will be decisive in determining whether the club achieve their objectives this summer: the sale of first-team players.
The first priority in this regard is to secure the sale of Griezmann and Coutinho, as doing so would reduce the club’s wage bill by 100 million euros.
Two years after Griezmann signed from Atletico Madrid for 120m euros on a five-year contract, his amortisation fee now stands at 72m euros, with Barcelona aiming to sell him in this window.
Coutinho has two years remaining on his contract, and with an amortisation fee of 44m euros, Barcelona are also aiming to sell him this summer.
Combining the Frenchman’s annual amortisation fee of 24m euros with the Brazilian’s annual amortisation fee of 22m euros shows almost 50m euros in expenses for Barcelona.
