Three Barcelona stars expected to leave this summer barring any surprises | OneFootball

Last week was one to relish and rejoice for FC Barcelona as they lifted the La Liga title to complete a domestic treble in their first season under manager Hansi Flick.

It has been a tremendously successful campaign for the Blaugrana, more so considering that they came without having won anything last season and had seen their rivals, Real Madrid, strengthen the squad with the signing of Kylian Mbappe.

Even as the celebrations continue, work for the next season is already underway, with sporting director Deco and Flick laying out plans to shape the squad so as to build on their success.

There is a distinct focus on finalising strategic contract renewals while a few new signings are also expected, along with some departures.

Ansu, Torre, Victor on their way out

As such, AS reports that three players – Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Pau Victor are certain to leave Barcelona in the summer transfer window barring any surprises.

Ansu returned to Barça last summer after a disappointing loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion, but continued to be bogged down by physical problems in the first half of the season.

Having refused to leave in January, the La Masia forward found it very hard to break into Flick’s setup and has now accepted that it is time for him to move on, with Jorge Mendes already working to find him a new club.

As for Torre, the young midfielder has been extremely unlucky due to the sheer quality of players in his position in the squad.

With the likes of Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, and Gavi ahead of him in the pecking order, minutes were always likely to hard to come by for the young attacking midfielder who impressed at every given opportunity.

As such, he too is expected to move on, along with Pau Victor, who finds himself in a similar position owing to the fact that he is behind the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal in Flick’s preference order.

While these three players are certain to leave, more exits are not ruled out, especially in defence where Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen find themselves in a tricky position.
