Barcelona Prep Sales to Align to Ernesto Valverde’s Wishes

FC Barcelona could be in for an unusually busy winter transfer window. Already, they’ve signed Philippe Coutinho. The return of Ousmane Dembélé is a bit like a new signing, because he played very little (due to injury) since he was signed. Yerry Mina’s capture seems close, as well.

But it’s not just who’s coming in, it’s who’s going out. Arda Turan, Gerard Deulofeu, Denis Suárez, André Gomes, Aleix Vidal, and Rafinha are all being rumored as due for possible exits.

Ernesto Valverde won’t miss Arda Turan, whom he has never picked to play, or Rafinha, who has not played yet under him due to a long-term injury.
