Manager Tata Martino took over the helm at the Camp Nou earlier this season and has had a difficult season despite signing Neymar, the Brazilian wonderkid for whooping 60m euros. He failed to persuade defensive signings and had to face crisis in the back throughout the season. Martino now will look to build a squad of his choice and for that he will be clearing out some players in order to manage the wage bill and squad structure. GiveMeGoal presents the potential players who will be looking for the exit door as the season ends.
Players Who might Exit Barcelona this summer
Cesc Fabregas
Cesc Fabregas of FC Barcelona will look for his future elsewhere.
Age: 27
Preferred Foot: Right
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 5ft10in
Previous Club: Arsenal
Possible destination: Manchester United, Arsenal
Position: Midfielder
Chances: 25%
Signing fee: £35M
Transfer Value: £35-45M
Despite his brilliant performance in the chances he is getting he has not been the first name in the team sheet and he will want this horror stint to end up. The club will also be happy to see him go if a big money bid comes by.
Victor Valdes
Victor Valdes of Barcelona will leave the club as a free agent this summer.
Age: 32
Preferred Foot: Right
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 6ft
Possible destination: AS Monaco, AC Milan
Position: Goalkeeper
Chances: 75%
Signing fee: 0m
Transfer Value: Free
The goalkeeper announced earlier in the season that he will be playing last season in Barca’s colors but injury ruined latter part of his season which also blew away his world cup chances. Barcelona are keen to add up a new goalkeeper and they will be hoping to offload Valdes from wage bill.
Alexis Sanchez
Chilean Alexis Sanchez will leave FC Barcelona if both party agrees to leave.
Age: 26
Preferred Foot: Right
Nationality: Chilean
Height: 5ft6in
Previous Club: Udinese
Possible destination: Manchester United, Chelsea, Inter Milan
Position: Midfielder
Chances: 25%
Signing fee: €26M
Transfer Value: €25-30M
The Chilean made a big money move from Udinese to Barcelona but has failed to live upto the expectations and not settled well. He has hardly played in the same position and is often used as winger in either sides rather than the false 9 position he prefers. He and the club both would be happy to part if the right move is set on the table.
Cristian Tello
Cristian Tello doesn’t see his future in Barcelona and will look for exit.
Age: 23
Preferred Foot: Right
Nationality: Spanish
Height: 5ft10in
Previous Club: Espanyol
Possible destination: Espanyol, Getafe, Real Sociedad, liverpool
Position: Midfielder
Chances: 50%
Signing fee: £0m
Transfer Value: £10-15M
The youngster was said to be the next big thing to be graduated from the academy but has not made such a big impact. He is below world class players in the pecking order and Barcelona signing new talents in is position means his chance will be very limited and he will be happy to pursue his future elsewhere.
Alexandre Song
Alexandre Song has failed to make his mark and will look for exit from this horror.
Age: 27
Preferred Foot: Right
Nationality: Cameroonian
Height: 6ft
Previous Club: Arsenal
Possible destination: Inter Milan, Arsenal
Position: Midfielder
Chances: 50%
Signing fee: £15m
Transfer Value: £10-15M
Song left Arsenal in hopes of getting into the already packed Barcelona midfield but he has failed to do so. Instead he is used as a backup and often plays as a centre back in absence of key defenders. He will look at the exit door once the season ends and play elsewhere where his talents are recognized well.
With offloads of these players, Barcelona is expected to be actively participating in transfer window as they battle potential transfer ban.
