La Liga leaders Barcelona could be planning something of a winter clear-out with as many as five first team stars linked with the exit door.
According to Catalan publication Sport, Rafinha, Gerard Deulofeu, Aleix Vidal, Arda Turan and Javier Mascherano are all considered possible departures, as Ousmane Dembele nears his return to full fitness and Ernesto Valverde plans to remove any dead weight from the squad ahead of the second half of the season.
Mascherano looks more than likely to be the first out the door, as his impending move to China awaits official confirmation.
