There has been not much significant movement on the transfers front at FC Barcelona apart from the signing of Ilkay Gundogan. But the club are ρłɑɴning to make some major moves in the coming days and weeks.
Indeed, according toGerard Romero, as of today, Barcelona ρłɑɴ to make a total of four signings in the summer window while also offloading six players. And they have informed the same to La Liga.
The four players that the Catalans intєɴԀ to sign are – Gundogan, Inigo Martinez, Vitor Roque, and a pivot midfielder.
As mentioned earlier, Gundogan has already arrived at the club earlier this week. Meanwhile, An agreement is understood to be in place to sign Martinez for free, although an official announcement will only be made after his contract with Athletic Club expires on June 30.
As for Roque, a €45 million agreement has been reached with Athletico Paranaense while the player will be penning a six-year contract until 2029. But there is still no confirmation of that Ԁєɑł either anddoubts continue to remain about his registration, which could see the young striker’s arrival get postponed.
Finally, the pivot position continues to pose a challenge for Barça, but they are making some progress in their pursuit of Marcelo Brozovic. However,they have just six daysto make an offer for the Croatian who is also being courted by Al Nassr.
As far as the exits are concerned, Barcelona have had little to no success thus far, with the club failing in their attempts to get rid of players.
As Romero mentions, the Catalans intєɴԀ to offload six stars this summer, withJavi Miguel of ASthen revealing the names of those who the La Liga champions wish to offload.
Unsurprisingly, the list features returning loanees Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Alex Collado, Sergino Dest, and Nico Gonzalez. And the final name is that of midfielder Franck Kessie.
Even though the likes of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati have been linked with exits, they are reluctant to leave. As such, their departures cannot be guaranteed which is why their names might not have been mentioned by the club to La Liga.
Either way, only time will tell how many of these operations that theBlaugranacan complete before the window slams shut and whether there will be room for more signings than the four being mentioned for now.
