Barcelona planning to sell several big names this summer - report

Barcelona are planning a major squad overhaul this summer and are willing to allow several big names to leave, including Arda Turan, Jérémy Mathieu and Javier Mascherano, according to Sport.

The report claims the club’s plan, dubbed ‘Operation Exit’, will see some important players allowed to leave as Robert Fernandez feels they have given all they can.

Arda Turan is one player named as likely to depart with Barcelona confident he could still demand a decent transfer fee.

The 30-year-old has made just 13 Liga starts this season and has recently been linked with a move to Arsenal, as part of a deal that would see Hector Bellerin move the other way.
