Barcelona aims for player departures before June 30 financial deadline

Barcelona seeks to finalize a significant player departure before June 30 to improve its financial position. Ansu Fati is the most likely player to leave, with AS Monaco close to activating his €11 million purchase option. Negotiations for Fati's contract with Monaco are nearing completion. Additionally, Barcelona is working on a season-long loan for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to Ajax, which would relieve wage expenses. The club has already secured some transfer income this summer, including a permanent deal for Inaki Pena to Panathinaikos. Other player exits may take longer to finalize, with negotiations for Roony Bardghji and Marc Casado continuing into July.
