According to 'Mundo Deportivo', Barca intend to get part of the 124 million euros that they need to balance the accounts before the end of the year.
All of this would be well covered if Bayern Munich sign Coutinho permanently. But even still, they would still be missing millions to end the season with a positive bank balance.
Thus, and because of their excessive number of midfielders, Barca intend to try to sell some of their players in January.
Several players could leave them in January. Rakitic, who was on the brink of leaving in the summer, and Arturo Vidal, who has interest in Italy, are the favorites to leave.
One of the latest teams to have enquired about a Barca player is Atlético. They are interested in Rakitic, who has gone from a starter to an outcast.
