Four players are considered certain to leave. Adama Traoré, whose prominence plummeted during the last month, will return to Wolverhampton from where he arrived on loan in January; Martin Braithwaite, who barely played ten minutes in March against Osasuna and has not entered into the plans of a coach who has not counted on Riqui Puig and used as a last resort Luuk de Jong, who will return to Sevilla.

They may not be the only ones to leave the club. Ousmane Dembélé's renewal is still not finalized and at Camp Nou, it is beginning to be suspected that his representative, Moussa Sissoko, has played with Barça having a more advantageous proposal under his arm.

Neto, who has already asked to leave in the past, could finally do so a year before the end of his contract, with Iñaki Peña, currently on loan at Galatasaray, taking his place in the shadow of Ter Stegen. A way out is being sought for Samuel Umtiti, who, having renewed his contract in January, agreed to negotiate a loan deal that the club wants to finalize this summer.

In the same way, pending the market with the possible signing of another central defender to join Danish Andreas Christensen, the offices are hoping to find a way out for Lenglet.

There is no definition with Òscar Mingueza, who has been losing minutes with the passing of the season and for whom the club would accept a transfer proposal, understanding that being a youth academy player, any income would be of direct benefit and knowing that Xavi himself has opened the door to his departure.

Who are Xavi's untouchables?

Pedri, Araújo, Ansu Fati, Gavi, Ferran Torres, Aubameyang, Èric García, Ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Piqué and Sergi Roberto will keep their places in the squad next season.
