Barcelona Plans Summer Sales of Multiple Players Amid Financial Pressure

FC Barcelona is actively seeking to balance its squad and finances ahead of the 2025–26 season, with several players identified as candidates for transfer to address an overcrowded midfield and financial constraints. Notably, Fermín López has attracted significant interest from Manchester United, with an offer close to €70 million, while Marc Casadó and Andreas Christensen are also considered potential departures, though Christensen is determined to stay and prove his worth under coach Hansi Flick. Goalkeeper Iñaki Peña is another player likely to be sold, as Barcelona prioritizes new signing Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny for the position. Oriol Romeu, not in Flick’s plans, is negotiating a return to Girona with Barcelona working to terminate his contract, including subsidizing part of his salary. The club needs to offload these players to free up registration space and improve its financial standing, as the transfer window closes and the new season approaches. These moves are critical as Barcelona aims to maintain its competitiveness while managing longstanding economic challenges.
