The season is approaching its end, and in Barcelona they are giving more and more attention to the transfer market, which will allow the Catalan club to get rid of the disappointing players this season, after which they will conclude more than one deal to strengthen the team’s ranks and meet the requests of the new technical director.
It is noteworthy that Xavi is preparing to leave Barcelona at the end of the season after he announced this last month after losing to Villarreal, but Laporta is now seeking to change Xavi’s decision, but he is insisting on leaving at the end of the season.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Xavi asked Laporta for a final and surprising request before his departure at the end of the season.
The newspaper added: Xavi asked Laporta to get rid of three players in Barcelona and sign stronger deals and elements, and this is the best option for Barcelona in the next season.
The Spanish coach asked Laporta to get rid of Rafinha and get a large sum from his sale and invest it in other contracts. The second player is Oriol Romeu, whom Xavi believes made a mistake by signing him and the player has become one of Barcelona’s biggest weaknesses.
The newspaper added that the third player is the Spanish player loaned to Brighton, Ansu Fati, as Xavi Laporta demanded that he be sold to one of the Premier League teams, especially with the promotion of a number of La Masia stars in the first team, so there is no need for Barcelona to bring Ansu Fati back again.
The economic situation that FC Barcelona is going through also has a major impact on this matter. To strengthen the team, the club will have to launch a large-scale exit process, everything indicates that Oriol Romeu, Rafinha and Ansu Fati’s hours are numbered in the team.
