the hot files of the transfer window

Barça removed a big thorn in their side by extending Xavi, who had announced several months ago that he would leave Catalonia at the end of the season. This is already one less file to deal with, but the Catalan management will have a lot of work to recreate a competitive group capable of winning titles. We remind you that Barça will not, without great surprise, be champion of Spain and are eliminated from the National Cup as well as the Champions League. Xavi, Joan Laporta and Deco are therefore expected to have a turbulent summer and will have to rack their brains regarding many cases.

Lots of uncertainties

Some cases are already fixed, such as those of Lamine Yamal, who has established himself in the starting eleven, or Robert Lewandowski, who should honor his last year of contract. The Pole is having an average season, but has decent statistics in the league, which tips the scales in his favor. However, other players find themselves in tense situations and are not sure whether they will be at Barcelona next season. This is the case of Raphinha who sees his market value increase after his good end to the season. Several Saudi clubs would be interested and Barça would not be against a sale, but not for less than eighty million euros. João Félix should leave Catalonia, but a new loan cannot be ruled out for next season in the event of a salary cut. Ferran Torres would interest Atlético, according to Sport, and a sale cannot be ruled out this summer. As for the youngsters, Vitor Roque is expected to go on loan, as is Marc Guiu and Ansu Fati will return from his loan spell at Brighton. His situation is complex and the two parties will have to agree on a common future or not.
