Barcelona ready to sell three stars, including Ansu Fati to Manchester United

Barcelona are ready to sell three stars to bal­ance their bal­ance sheet.

The club spent around €170m this sum­mer on the sign­ings of Robert Lewandows­ki, Rafin­ha and Jules Koonde.

To do so, they had no choice but to take dras­tic mea­sures, such as sell­ing 25% of their own pro­duc­tion com­pa­ny and 10% of their tele­vi­sion broad­cast­ing rights for the next 25 years.

The club is ready to con­sid­er sell­ing some big play­ers to avoid the same sit­u­a­tion this summer.

Brazil­ian winger Rafin­ha is one of them, with the club want­i­ng to recov­er the €62m it paid for him from Leeds.

Fer­ran Tor­res, who signed from Man­ches­ter City two years ago for €62m, could also leave at the right price.

And most sur­pris­ing is his will­ing­ness to lis­ten to offers for 20-year-old Ansu Fati.

Fati was pre­vi­ous­ly a top tar­get for Man­ches­ter Unit­ed and was report­ed­ly agreed to a €153m deal for 2020, before Barça’s exit.

Mes­si’s rep­u­ta­tion was so high that the club hand­ed over his num­ber 10 jer­sey to him after he left.

How­ev­er, jour­nal­ist José Alvarez told El Chirin­gui­to news­pa­per that Barça are unhap­py with the per­for­mances of Fati and two oth­er play­ers and may con­sid­er leav­ing Robert Lewandows­ki and Ous­mane Dem­bele. talking.

Alvarez’s report says the 34-year-old Pol­ish and World Cup final­ist Dem­bele are the only ‘untouch­ables’ for the club in the next two trans­fer windows.

Lewandows­ki has scored 18 goals in 20 appear­ances since join­ing Barcelona.

After a dis­mal World Cup final with France, where he was sent off before half-time, Dem­bélé’s per­for­mances at Barcelona improved sig­nif­i­cant­ly under Xavi.
