The blue-grey team must complete a sale to be able to continue the hunt for top signings.
FC Barcelona have made a clear plan for this transfer market: they want to raise 140 million euros by selling three key players from the first team. The need to generate income follows both the rules of financial fair play and the desire to strengthen a squad that will become more competitive under Hansi Flick’s leadership. The plan involves the departures of Fermín López, Ronald Araújo and Marc-André ter Stegen – sales that will be crucial to free up funds for new reinforcements.

The 3 sales FC Barcelona want to complete this summer
- Fermín López: Fermín is the most valuable of the three. His lightning-fast development last season has attracted interest from several European clubs, and Barcelona will only consider a sale if they receive an offer of around €80 million. His departure, while painful for fans, will help fund priority signings like Nico Williams.
- Ronald Araújo: In the case of Araújo, the decision is based on his varying performances after recovering from injury issues. Although he was expected to be a defensive mainstay, he has not delivered at the same level, and sporting management considers an offer of around €40 million suitable to let him go.
- Marc-André ter Stegen: Finally, ter Stegen could also be in his last months as a blue spruce. The arrival of Joan García and the desire to rejuvenate the squad have made the club consider a sale. It is estimated that the German goalkeeper could bring in around €20 million for the Camp Nou coffers.
Through these operations, Barça aims to create the necessary financial strength to complete new signings and face the season with a more balanced squad, ready for the challenges of the Flick project.
