FC Barcelona finds itself at a crossroads this season, since five of its key players, Clement Lenglet, Franck Kessié, Ferran Torres, Álex Collado, and Sergiño Dest, would not enter into the plans of the new coach, Xavi Hernández. Faced with this situation, the club’s sports management is working hard to find teams for them and thus, in addition to freeing them from their inactivity, deposit funds and alleviate the club’s wage bill.
Clement Lenglet :
The French defender, who at the time seemed destined to be the successor to Gerard Piqué, has experienced a decline in his performance in recent seasons. With the arrival of Xavi Hernández, the team is expected to opt for a more solid defense and this could leave him on the bench. The club will look for a way out that benefits both parties and allows Lenglet to recover his best level elsewhere.
Franck Kessie :
The Ivorian was an important player for AC Milan, but his move to Barcelona has not yielded the expected results. With the competition in the midfield, the Catalan club intends to find a solution that allows Kessié to continue his career in a team that better suits his style of play and in this way earn a good pinch, it is said that he would be close to Juve.
Ferrán Torres :
The young Spanish winger came to Barcelona with high expectations, but his time at the club has not been as brilliant as expected. With the return of Abde and the presence of other high-level wingers such as Raphinha, Ansu Fati, or Dembélé, the player could see himself displaced in Xavi’s scheme. The sports management is working to find him a team where he can continue developing his talent.
Alex Collado :
Like Ferran, Álex would not have a place at the end of the culé team either and for this reason, he would be in the spotlight of sports management. The club is looking for a loan or transfer that allows it to gain experience and minutes elsewhere.
Sergiño Dest :
It is evident that Xavi Hernández does not like the North American full-back since he does not give him defensive guarantees, this makes him one of the players who will leave Barça in this transfer market. Barcelona will look for a way out that allows them to get some money for him.
For Barcelona, releasing these players is an economic and sporting necessity. The sports management expects to obtain significant income through transfers or assignments, which would help to alleviate the club’s wage bill and would allow new signings to be made in priority positions. In addition, it would give these footballers the opportunity to reactivate their careers and prove their worth in other teams.
