Barcelona Clear Out: Ter Stegen, Casadó and Four Stars Set for Summer Exits
Four Barcelona Stars Face Summer Departures
Four members of FC Barcelona's first-team ranks could yet be on the move before the summer transfer window closes, according to reports from Diario Sport.
The La Liga champions are looking to streamline their squad while generating funds, with several high-profile names potentially heading for the exit door at the Camp Nou.
Ter Stegen Loan to Ajax Expected
The most certain of the Blaugrana exits is goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, whose loan switch to the Eredivisie with Ajax is expected to be made official at some point this week.
The German international's departure comes as Barcelona look to manage their squad numbers and wage bill ahead of the new season.
Casadó Best Source of Funds
Midfielder Marc Casadó is considered the best potential source of funds at the Camp Nou, amid widespread interest in the signature of the Spanish international who still boasts plenty of room for growth.
Several clubs are monitoring the 23-year-old's situation, and Barcelona would be keen to capitalize on his market value while it remains high.
Bardghji Surplus After New Arrivals
Winger Roony Bardghji is also a contender to depart following the respective arrivals of Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi in Catalunya's capital this summer.
The young Swedish international has been deemed surplus to requirements, and Barcelona would be keen on a permanent sale featuring a buyback clause to protect their long-term interests.
Ferran Torres Situation Unresolved
Frontman Ferran Torres rounds out the list of potential departures. The 26-year-old is the subject of serious transfer interest from Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.
Hansi Flick and the coaching staff are hopeful of Torres ultimately putting pen to paper on a new contract, but the player himself will have the final say on his future.
Ansu Fati and Iñaki Peña remain the only players to have brought fees of note to Barcelona this summer, highlighting the club's need to generate additional revenue through player sales.
