As the transfer window enters its final week, FC Barcelona are braced for potential twists. Inaki Pena, Oriol Romeu and Hector Fort are already on their way out so as to allow the successful registration of Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin, and Roony Bardghji.
The Catalans are working overtime to finalise the departures of the aforementioned trio so as to resolve their registration issues in time for the next game against Rayo Vallecano.
However, according to Mundo Deportivo, inside the offices at Barcelona, there is an awareness that further departures remain possible right up until the 1st of September transfer deadline day.

But those at the club are leaving the doors open for further departures, especially if any player asks to leave.
Indeed, the message from the club is clear: if a player decides he wants more minutes elsewhere, he will have to bring a firm offer that satisfies all parties.
The names of Fermin Lopez and Marc Casado, in particular, have been heavily mentioned as possible candidates for late exits in recent weeks.
However, both La Masia graduates are standing firm on their intentions of not wanting to leave the club anytime soon.
But with still a week left before the transfer window closes, uncertainty lingers and the doors remain open for departures if the player requests it and has an offer that is deemed satisfactory by the club.
