The section on departures will be key for Barça's future ahead of the next summer market. During the season, some footballers have seen their minutes significantly reduced, while others have gained importance. The sports management is studying different options to balance the accounts and strengthen other positions.
Ronald Araújo was one of those who was close to leaving this past January. Juventus showed strong interest, but he finally renewed until 2031 with a clause of 65 million. Although he remains an essential piece, his continuity is not guaranteed.
Ansu Fati still hasn't resolved his future
Ansu Fati's case is different, and it seems that his future is not yet clear. He is not in Flick's plans, and for months there has been speculation about his departure. However, the forward insists on staying to find a place in Flick's Barça.
He has a contract until 2027 and is not willing to leave prematurely. Despite the offers that have arrived, his stance hasn't changed.
Barça already has a great offer
Despite the doubts about Araújo and Ansu, the first major move points to Jules Koundé. The French defender has received a tempting proposal to move to the Premier League.
Although initially he was not among the main candidates to leave, Barça might reconsider his continuity. Everything will depend on how the situation evolves in the coming weeks.
Jules Koundé, the chosen one to leave
Koundé has been the first to receive a serious offer due to his great performance during these months, but his future is in the air. Barça knows that his market value remains high and could take advantage to obtain very high income. Now, a Premier League giant has knocked on his door with a significant proposal.
Chelsea wants to sign Koundé
Chelsea is willing to make a big investment to take the French center-back. The amount offered is around 100 million.
Initially, Barça doesn't contemplate his sale. However, the figure is high and could change the board's stance.
The final decision is in Barça's hands
Both Hansi Flick and Barça's board will have to carefully evaluate the operation. The sale of Koundé would mean an economic relief, but also a significant loss, as they have no replacement for the right-back.
Therefore, the coming weeks will be key to defining Jules Koundé's future. Will Barça accept Chelsea's offer or bet on trusting him and keeping him for the coming years?
