TA: Barcelona hopes to sell Ter Stegen, Fati joins Monaco, expected to be finalized in the next few weeks
According to The AThletic, Barcelona hopes to strengthen the team, but the plan may face some familiar difficulties, so some players may leave this summer.
Telstegen's stay and departure may be one of Barcelona's longest series this summer, with the club hoping to sign 24-year-old Joan Garcia and make him the main goalkeeper, which has brought Terstegen's position in the team to question. The player's contract with Barcelona expires in 2028 and agreed to delay payment of wages when renewing the contract for 23 years. This week, Ter Stegen responded to the media that he had no intention of leaving Barcelona. But according to club senior sources, Barcelona hopes to sell Ter Stegen, but it is also clear that the players have the right to continue to fulfill existing contracts.
In the past season, Fati has only played 11 times and has only accumulated 298 minutes of playing time. He is still only 22 years old this year and has realized that he needs to find a new beginning. Fati's contract expires in 2027 and his annual salary after tax is 7 million euros, which is obviously unbearable for the club that intends to sign him. Therefore, players and clubs tend to solve the problem through loan, and Barcelona may still have to bear some of Fati's salary, but both sides are open to this. Monaco is closest to Fati, and the deal is expected to be finalized in the next few weeks.
26-year-old Peña will almost certainly leave Barcelona this summer, and although the club is satisfied with his performance in the past season, it still loses in the competition with Szczesni. Now, Barcelona welcomes Ter Stegen back and hopes to sign Joan Garcia. For Pena, his best choice is to find a club that can play in the first team games stably. With one year left in the contract, players are expected to leave with relatively low transfer fees or even freely. Barcelona hopes to join the second transfer share, and La Liga teams such as Betis, Valencia, and Celta have expressed their interest.
22-year-old Torre is undoubtedly talented, but in his position, Barcelona is fiercely competitive, and Torre's situation will not improve in the short term. Whether it is a permanent transfer or a loan, it is a possible choice. At present, the latter is more likely. Barcelona believes that Torre has the potential to become a regular main player of the first team, so they do not want to lose their attention to him. The player team has contacted many clubs in the European and Middle East regions.
Araujo renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2031 in January this year, and the contract includes a 60 million euro termination fee. However, the player's current situation is not ideal, and he has not been able to re-establish his starting position as a central defender after returning from injury. Christensen's situation is similar to Araujo, but the player is very satisfied with his life in Barcelona and is willing to stay here. However, his contract will expire next year and new contract negotiations have not yet begun.
Barcelona does not want to lose their security - Victor, but if a new winger joins, the player may be loaned out. Victor has many suitors in La Liga, and the players are also frustrated by their lack of stable chances to play. Barcelona also hopes that Victor can still become an important player for the team through his successful loan experience and increase market value.
