Barcelona have a summer full of transfers ahead of them, with numerous high profile names being linked with a switch to Camp Nou. And much like any other season, some names are expected to be on their way out. Here are all the rumoured and confirmed ins and outs.
Ins
Sergio Aguero
A transfer that seems to be years in the making, the Argentinian forward is expected to be announced as a Barcelona player in the next few hours, following Manchester City’s defeat in the Champions League final to Chelsea.
Eric Garcia
The Barcelona academy graduate is set to return to Camp Nou this summer, as a free agent. The deal has been done since January and he will accompany Sergio Aguero from City to Barcelona.
Gini Wijnaldum
Liverpool’s star midfielder decided to let his contract expire and move on from Anfield this summer. The Dutch international is now expected to link up with former national team coach Ronald Koeman at Barcelona.
Memphis Depay
Along with Wijnaldum, Depay is set to join Barcelona after a failed transfer last summer. Only this time around, the deal is set to be for free.
Outs
Jordi Alba
Much like Luis Suarez, the Spanish left-back has been offered to Atletico Madrid. The Rojiblancos are seeking to add some depth in the position despite having Renan Lodi already holding up well.
Samuel Umtiti
The World Cup winning centre-back is on the transfer list for Barcelona, with his time at Camp Nou plagued by injuries. He has already rejected a transfer to Zenit, with other European clubs yet to bid for him.
Antoine Griezmann
Griezmann’s time at Barcelona has not gone according to plan, and they are willing to listen to offers and cut their losses. They are looking out for an orthodox number 9, and with Aguero and Depay set to join, Griezmann would fall down the pecking order.
