La Liga champions Barcelona already have their priorities for the summer transfer window clear, with the Catalan outfit keen to free up both funds and space in their squad by moving on as many as seven players this summer.

With reports linking the club with big-money moves for Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann, Gremio playmaker Arthur and Sevilla centre-back Clement Lenglet, the club are reportedly eager to clear the decks to make room for their potential new recruits.

According to Catalan publication 'Sport', as many as seven players will be allowed to leave the club this summer, with Andre Gomes, Paco Alcacer and Aleix Vidal available to buy outright and Rafinha, Gerard Deulofeu and Munir El Haddadi all available on loan.

Whatsmore, a decision has yet to be made over the future of Yerry Mina, with the Colombian potentially available to buy or loan after a disappointing start to his career at the Camp Nou.

It promises to be a busy summer for Barca as they not only look for club interested in the sextet, but ones that are also prepared to pay their asking price. Given the size of their squad, it is likely that exits will be key to Barca's attempts to refresh their squad this summerm hence Barca making their plans with plenty of time to spare.

The most urgent cases are though to be the futures of Gomes, Alcacer and Rafinha, with the trio the most likely to earn Barca a significant fee and the most likely to be easy to move on, with each player though to have plenty of suitors.
