The Spanish club Barcelona imposed itself as the king of the summer 2022 deals, after it was the most active during the transfer period over the past few weeks
Barcelona made revolutionary changes in the team after a disappointing season, when he signed 8 players at once and decided to leave 16 players, to start the new season 2022-2023 with a different list
Although Barcelona is suffering from a severe financial crisis, the club’s management, through its president, Joan Laporta, was able, through economic leverage and the sale of parts of the club’s assets, to provide financial liquidity to conclude deals
Spanish press reports talked about the list of those departing from the Spanish football club Barcelona during the upcoming summer transfers, by a decision by coach Xavi Hernandez
During the last summer Mercato, the Catalan giant managed to end many special deals, most notably the Polish Robert Lewandowski and the Brazilian Rafinha, along with Frank Kessie and Chelsea duo Andreas Christensen and Marcos Alonso
Despite this, Spanish coach Xavi believes that the team still needs some deals, in addition to getting rid of players in their eyes, to save money and make way for new stars
According to the Catalan newspaper, “Sport”, the Barca administration will get rid of 7 players at once during the summer transfer period in 2023, after receiving the green light from Xavi
She explained that this list will include the departure of the historic trio of Jordi Alba, Gerard Pique and Sergio Busquets, who played with Xavi between 2008 and 2015
The source confirmed that the Dutchman, Memphis Depay, will be the first to leave next summer, given his high salary and his failure to present his credentials with the team, as well as Sergi Roberto, due to the large number of injuries
The Catalan club will end Hector Bellerin’s career quickly after the end of the current season, because Xavi is not convinced of his abilities, as well as dispensing with another player whose name has not been revealed
The current season witnessed a decrease in the number of minutes of participation for Pique, Busquets and Alba, for various reasons, between injuries and technical exclusion
It should be noted that Barcelona is in second place in the La Liga standings this season with 16 points, behind its traditional rivals Real Madrid by two points
