Barcelona must get rid of several important players as soon as possible and make money on them in order not to violate the rules of financial fair play.
Oscar Mingesa, who strengthened Celta, Ricky Pudge, who goes to Los Angeles Galaxy and Clement Lenglet, who went on loan to Tottenham, left the club, but they have been the least of the problems so far. Barca are trying to sell Frankie de Jong, Memphis Depay, Martin Braithwaite, Miralem Pjanic and Samuel Umtiti, but none of them want to leave.
The reasons are very clear. The previous management paid huge salaries, so none of these players can reach those sums at other clubs. Even, Pjanic and Depay agreed to have their salaries partially reduced to stay, and Braithwaite is content to sit in the team, even if he doesn’t play any minutes. Umtiti has been in such a situation for a long time and is not even thinking of leaving, even though there is an offer for him from Olympiakos.
Barcelona does not have much time to solve these problems, the season starts in ten days, and at the moment it is not able to register new players due to the aforementioned problems.
