Joan Laporta, together with Deco and Hansi Flick, are preparing the next season. Like every summer, the chapter of sales and signings will be in full swing. From Barça, in fact, there is talk of possible significant departures.
FC Barcelona's season, under the command of Hansi Flick, has been very successful. The German, therefore, doesn't want to lose momentum or let his footballers relax too much. One of the coach's keys has been effort and consistency.
Barça's president, Joan Laporta, knows that the club is not going through its best economic moment. Therefore, in case of emergency, Ronald Araújo and Frenkie de Jong would be the two most valuable assets that could say goodbye to Barcelona.
you in, you out
Ronald Araújo, meanwhile, was about to leave Barça last January. Meanwhile, Frenkie de Jong is waiting to sign his renewal before leaving for free in 2026. Deco and Joan Laporta are not going to allow a player of his caliber to leave the club without benefits.
What does seem clear is that both could leave the blaugrana ranks this very summer. This sales package would allow Barça to strengthen, although with low-cost players in several areas of the field. However, and to everyone's surprise, Deco has noted a couple of surprising names.
In his notebook of possible departures, the Portuguese has written: Gavi and Fermín López. It is true that the "6" has not returned to his best level since his severe knee injury. Fermín López, in his area, is a regular substitute for Hansi Flick despite being the natural replacement for Dani Olmo.
Gavi and Fermín López, painful but true
There is talk that a rather formal offer may have arrived at FC Barcelona for the attacking midfielder, Fermín López. He is a midfielder with drive, a lot of grit, and goal-scoring ability. This type of profile is highly valued in newly developing soccer countries like Saudi Arabia.
The figures are astonishing: An offer of 8 million euros net for the Andalusian and 60 million euros for Barça. The native of El Campillo is still very young (22) and can evolve greatly in FC Barcelona under Flick. These numbers, combined with Barça's needs and Hansi Flick's requests in several areas, could come to pass.
More complicated would be Gavi's farewell. Between the coach and him, there has always been a notable feeling, and it is precisely Flick who always praises him publicly.
The coach has occasionally stated that "Gavi is essential here and will be a blaugrana leader." Anything can happen in this upcoming transfer market where Barça's offices will be buzzing, as usual.
