Revealed: Barcelona name list of EIGHT players who could leave in the summer as Premier League clubs handed major transfer boost
Barcelona are set for a busy summer with the club reportedly naming eight stars including Frenkie De Jong who could leave in the upcoming transfer window.
The Catalans have enjoyed a hugely succesful season and effectively sealed the La Liga title with a 4-3 win over Real Madrid on Sunday.
They have already won the Copa del Rey after another El Clasico victory last month and narrowly missed out on a Champions League final after a dramatic extra time loss in an all-time classic semi-final against Inter Milan.
Despite their successes, a host of players could be shown the door at the end of the season, with the club prepared to entertain offers for much of the squad.
And sporting director and former player Deco is insistent on the need to raise funds before making their own signings.
Iñaki Peña, Ronald Araujo, Héctor Fort, Fermín Lopez, Gavi, Pablo Torre, Pau Víctor, and Ansu Fati could all be heading for a summer exit, with offers set to come from Saudi Arabia, according to Diario Sport.

De Jong, who has been linked with Manchester United and sees his contract expires at the end of next season, could also be sold if he doesn’t renew his terms.
While contract negotations have started, the club does not intend to begin next season with any players who have just one year left on their contracts.
Barcelona are understood to be willing to listen to offers for any players apart from Lamine Yamal.
The 17-year-old has scored 16 goals and provided 24 assists in a remarkable season which has seen him tipped for the Ballon d’Or.
He has formed a formidable attacking partnership alongside Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha.
But Barcelona bosses have not ruled out a move for the Brazilian forward, who has scored 31 goals in all competitions for Hansi Flick’s side this season.

Raphinha is believed to want to stay but has been tempted by offers from Saudi Arabia.
Last week, the 27-year-old even admitted he had considered moving to Saudi Arabia last summer.
The former Leeds man said he spoke with Neymar about a switch before his wife convinced him to stay in Spain.
Meanwhile, Deco wants to sign a full-back, a striker, an attacking midfielder and a goalkeeper if Szczęsny leaves.
Barcelona have dealt with severe financial difficulties in recent seasons and were originally unable to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor in La Liga after they failed to prove they had necessary financial assurances.
