Barcelona working to close 5 player exits

La Liga champions Barcelona could bid farewell to as many as five senior players between this month and next.

This comes amid ongoing efforts on the part of those in the boardroom at the Spotify Camp Nou to balance the financial books.

Barcelona are of course fresh off announcing one first-team sale earlier this week, after Iñaki Peña’s sale to Panathinaikos was made official.

Deco and co, though, appear far from finished there…

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, next in line to see his Blaugrana stint brought to a permanent close is AS Monaco-bound Ansu Fati.

Marc-André ter Stegen is also inching ever closer to an Eredivisie switch, expected to join Ajax on a season-long loan any day now.

Marc Casadó is considered as being on the chopping block, too, considered a necessary sale to raise funds. And last up comes Roony Bardghji, who looks likely to move on temporarily in search of more consistent playing time.
