The Barcelona squad will suffer changes at the end of this season. That is at least the intention of the club, who will let Arturo Vidal and Rakitic go as well as Arthur.
'Sport' says that Barca are determined to freshen up the midfield. It is for that reason that, after the swap deal involving Arthur and Pjanic, if nothing goes wrong, the next departures will be the Chilean and the Croatian.
They are two of the names who have most been linked with a move away to give Barcelona some much needed money after the COVID-19 crisis.
Despite the fact the cited source does not give names of possible destinations, they say that Barcelona have put them on the market this summer because their contracts end in June 2021.
Therefore, Barcelona's midfield could include Busquets, De Jong and Pjanic if he joins them from Juve. Alena and Riqui Puig would be next in the pecking order.
You have to add the young footballers Barca have also signed who can play further up the pitch. The likes of Trincao, Pedri and Matheus Fernandes will be looking to get into the first team.
