Barcelona is speeding up the pace of getting rid of its burden
Barcelona are starting to work towards reducing the wage bill and returning to the 1:1 rule, a prerequisite for implementing Deco’s plan and signing players targeted during next summer’s Mercato.
The Catalan newspaper Sport reports that “Barcelona” has made a good start in the transfer market, having already announced its first deal of the next season, Antony Gordon.
He also moved to include Julián Alvarez, the No 9’s most sought-after striker since the departure of Robert Lewandowski, and moved forward to sign Bernardo Silva as a free agent, a good opportunity in the transfer market.
4 urgent files
In order for the club to be able to replenish its squad with such acquisitions, it is necessary for the “Blaugrana” club to return to the famous 1:1 rule.
One of the requirements to achieve this is to finish the current fiscal year ending June 30 with a profit.
For this reason, the sports department led by Deco and Bojan Kirkic has started working on speeding up the process of selling players, with four files that need to be resolved at the moment.
Ansu Fati will stay in Monaco
Barring any major surprises, this will be the first transfer to be officially announced. Fati, who grew up in the club’s academy, will become a Monaco player in every sense of the word in the coming days. It remains for Barcelona and the Emirati club to agree the final details of the deal, which has become almost certain. Negotiations are currently underway on the percentage that the Catalan club will retain in the event of a possible future sale, which ranges from 10 to 20 percent.
Ansu Fati, with whom everything is agreed, will bring a transfer fee of 11 million euros to the Catalan club.

Barji needs more minutes
At 20 years old, this promising Swedish winger cannot afford another season in which he only gets a handful of minutes. He showed his talent in his first game at Barcelona and still dreams of success in a Blaugrana shirt, but he plays in the same position as Lamine Yamal and Hansi Flick was very clear when he spoke to him about the lack of involvement that would await him if he stayed. However, he left the decision in the hands of Ronnie Barji.
After assessing the situation, Al-Suwaidi accepted the challenge and through his agent informed the sports management of his desire to move on loan in search of new opportunities.
“Barcelona” prefers to sell him without losing control over his future, that is, keeping the option to buy him back. But he wouldn’t mind a loan if that’s what the player prefers.
More than 10 European clubs have expressed interest in his situation, and the Catalan club is optimistic about solving this problem in the short term.

The Saudi solution. Casado is ready to leave…and Barcelona sets the price
Marc Casado’s case is sensitive, according to Sport, but competition in midfield is fierce. The player has been very reluctant to leave in the past and has not shied away from wanting to earn a bigger role, but he has no longer ruled out a move away from Camp Nou after another season in which he played just over 1,000 minutes, meaning he is the last in the midfield rotation.
“He has already started thinking about leaving the club,” he confirmed.
His agent Jorge Mendes has some interesting offers on the table, be it from European clubs or maybe even Saudi Arabia, and the ball is now in his court.
Barcelona will not put any pressure on him after Casado had to discuss his situation with Flick, and will ask for no less than €20m for his transfer should talks open with any of the clubs interested in his services.

Ter Stegen file
The rental of the German goalkeeper did not go well for Girona. After his second match with Montilivi, he was injured and was unable to help Michel’s team in their unsuccessful attempt to avoid relegation.
Muscular problems will prevent him from participating in the World Championship to be held in the USA, Mexico, Canada, and the fall of Girona will close the door to stay in the Catalan team.
The relationship between Marc-Andre ter Stegen and “Barcelona” is good. The dispute that arose last summer has been resolved, and both sides are eager to find a solution that satisfies everyone.
It is not excluded that an agreement is reached to terminate the contract, which ends in 2028, Ter Stegen will most likely be sent out on loan again, in which case the Catalan club will bear a part of his salary.
