Coutinho, Pjanic & Umtiti among those on Barca chopping block as Spanish giants seek to cut costs

The Blaugrana are ready to offload a number of first-team players amid a mounting financial crisis at Camp Nou

Philippe Coutinho, Miralem Pjanic and Samuel Umtiti are among the players Barcelona could sell as the Catalan giants seek to cut costs, Goal can confirm.

Barca are currently dealing with debts in excess of €1 billion (£862m/$1.2bn), having been one of the clubs that have suffered most from losing matchday revenue during the coronavirus pandemic.

As a result, reducing the squad wage bill has become a priority for the Blaugrana, who are set to put a number of first-team stars up for sale when the transfer window reopens.
