Barça, From Boasting About La Masia to Selling Gavi or Fermín to Sign in 2025

The culé team wants to pay a fortune in the summer to strengthen its squad.

The season for FC Barcelona is being more positive than expected. The blaugrana team is close to advancing in the Champions League, remains first in LaLiga, and is alive in the semifinals of the Cup.

However, in the offices of the Catalan team, they are already thinking about the maneuvers they will have to make for the next season. Barça, which is still not very well off in terms of budget, will have to make several efforts to bring in the desired stars.

Goodbye to Some of the Team's Gems?

Barça believes that in the summer they will have a more favorable financial situation to improve their squad, increasing the depth of positions. At the club, they believe that they currently depend heavily on the health of key players like Pedri, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha.

To achieve this, as happens every year, there is concern that a sacrifice may be needed, selling an important piece in exchange for a major transfer operation. In this regard, there is talk again of Ronald Araújo, De Jong, or even some young midfielder who has played less than expected (Fermín).

From 'Relevo' they point out that Fermín or even Gavi should not be left out of the equation of possible sales. Two pieces they don't want to part with for anything in the world, but who could leave if they don't get the expected minutes.

Barça Will Have to Strengthen Raphinha's Contract

Without a doubt, one of the revelation players for Barça this season is Raphinha. However, the Brazilian is being scouted by clubs from Arabia, who could make a great offer for him.

The Brazilian forward has played 40 matches with Barcelona, scoring goals in La Liga, Champions League, Copa del Rey, and Supercopa. In total, he has achieved 28 goals and 18 assists, unprecedented statistics. Additionally, his influence in the locker room is of great importance and highly valued.

According to reports from 'Relevo', Al-Hilal would have put about 100 million on the table for the club and another 15 for the Carioca. Raphinha's idea is not even to consider the offer, but he wants an improvement in return.

A notable increase that will place him among the top in terms of salary, taking him out of the middle category he was previously in.
