Barça will start the preseason with a squad of circumstances
The club has many open folders both in arrivals and departures
Barça will begin the preseason on Monday, July 4 with many open folders and a squad that is still in a difficult position. The club is open to the departure of several players, while working to secure some key additions for Xavi.
The club announced this Thursday the first lever (the agreement with Sixth Street Partners for 10% of the television rights for the next 25 years), but there is still no margin to register players. A circumstance that does not prevent him from signing or even presenting new additions. The first ones that are planned, and could be announced this weekend, are Kessie and Christensen.
Like this it is the staff of the Barça to 1 of July:
Cases closed:
Luuk de Jong: This Thursday he said goodbye to the Barça fans after finishing his loan.
adama: His loan ended and Barça will not exercise the purchase option.
Alves: Barça did not offer him the renewal and he does not continue.
Jutgla: He left transferred to Bruges for 5 million euros.
Coutinho: Transferred to Aston Villa in exchange for 20 million euros.
Open cases:
DeJong: A transfer of 80 million is negotiated with United.
Dembele: This Thursday ended his relationship with Barça. The club wants him to continue and he to continue, but the proposal does not convince the Frenchman.
Net: Barça does not have him and it is not ruled out that he be given the letter of freedom.
Braithwaite: An exit is sought for him, but he has a contract and does not want to leave.

Transfers in closed:
Kessie and Christensen: The club could make their transfers official this weekend.
*Paul Tower: He will do the preseason with the first team, but he could start in the subsidiary.
Transfers in progress:
Lewandowski: The big goal. The Pole has already made it clear that he wants to come, but Bayern still need to accept Barça’s offer.
Koundé: The defender that Xavi wants. He wants to come but he will not leave Sevilla for less than 50 million.
Azpilicueta: There is an agreement with the player and Chelsea asks for 13 million.
Mark Alonso: A case very similar to that of Azpi. Chelsea are also asking around 13 million for the defender.
raphinha: It depends on how the Dembélé case evolves. If he does not continue, his signing will be attempted, but it would cost more than 50 million.

lashing: Looking for a loan with a mandatory purchase option to Sporting Lisbon.
