Barca to force departures before July: Ansu, Kessie, Ferran on the list

Xavi, Laporta, Mateu Alemany, Deco and other members of Barcelona's management had a meeting on Friday to map out their plans for the summer transfer window. Renewals have been put on the back burner, with priority given to registrations, new signings and departures.

According to 'Sport', one of the conclusions that the club came to was that they needed to secure two departures before the end of June. So the Catalans have put the focus on players like Ansu Fati, Franck Kessie and Ferran Torres.

The same outlet reported that the sporting director will insist on their entourages to hasten events and force the departures. In addition, Xavi, the first team coach, will also push to speed up the operations.

It seems that the Barca coach told the players that they would not be seeing many minutes on the pitch next season. The motive is reportedly only the club's economic situation.

Ansu Fati, Kessie and Ferran Torres are the only ones being pushed out the exit door. Other players like Abde, Nico, Lenglet and Umiti could be seeing themselves out before July.
