Transfers: The money Barça hope to bring in this summer
Barcelona hope to sell several players for decent money
It's Barcelona's priority. Everyone in the football world knows they want to strengthen this summer with three signings (Antoine Griezmann, Clement Lenglet and Arthur Melo) but to do that they must sell.
There's a list of players in the first team Barça could get money for (Andre Gomes, Paco Alcacer and Aleix Vidal) and others who have been out on loan (Rafinha, Deulofeu, Munir).
Yerry Mina could also be included in that list. The club haven't taken a firm decision on what to do with him yet: transfer or loan.
Andre Gomes is best placed to leave. Even though things haven't gone well at Camp Nou, clubs are still aware of his quality. Clubs in England and in Italy would pay around 40 million euros for him. It's important that Barça don't lose money on him.
It's the same story with Paco Alcacer. In Spain and England there is interest, but it won't be easy to find a club able to pay his price. However, strikers usually find biffers and the club are optimistic.
Meanwhile, Rafinha's loan to Inter was a success. The Italians have qualified for the Champions League and must buy the Brazilian for 35 million euros. It's the same with Deulofeu, who did well at Watford. He hopes to remain with the Premier League side and Barça will want at least 12 million back for him.
Another player who will leave come what may is Vidal. The Catalan wants to play regularly. Sevilla seem well placed to re-sign him. He will go for around 12 million which then leaves Mina... he will be loaned... or sold.
MUNIR FOR CASH
The future of striker Munir is also on the table. He had a fine season on loan at Alaves but it's unlikely the Basque club will be able to pay for him. Barça would want more than 10 million. Munir will find a home elsewhere, though, the club believe.
