Xavi's Barcelona, who has rushed to the third place in La Liga, has shown good momentum in the last 8 games and 6 wins and 2 draws in all competitions. For Barca, this is just the beginning – this summer's rebuilding efforts are at the forefront. On March 8, the "Daily Sports" pointed out that the Barça backline's "3 in, 2 out" plan was released, which also allowed Barca to net 50 million euros.
"Barça dreams of completing two sales by June 30," the Daily Sport wrote. Who are these 2 players? Centre-back Lenglet and right-back Dest.
Lenglet
Lenglet, 26, is no longer in Harvey's plans. Since January 24, Lenglet has only played one minute. Pique and Araujo are the main centre-backs, and Eric Garcia's appearance is also ahead of Lenglet.
The Daily Sports newspaper said that Lenglet is not short of suitors, and Newcastle, the new local tycoon of the Premier League, is one of them. In January, Newcastle wanted to bring in Lenglet, but the players themselves were reluctant to leave. As the relegation situation in Newcastle becomes clear, Lenglet, who cannot play at Barca, will also seriously consider the transfer.
Durst
Durst, 21, is also a player Barca wants to sell. Dest is good, but Harvey has a stronger right-back in mind. Monaco in Ligue 1 and Chelsea in the Premier League are both interested in Durst. However, Durst wants to join a team that is competitive and can make a difference in the Champions League.
Barca's number one target: Haaland
According to Barca's vision, Lenglet and Dest two players can bring Barca a transfer fee of 50 million euros. If Villa buys out Coutinho for 40 million euros and Atletico buys out Griezmann for 40 million euros, Barca will have enough capital to sign haaland, the number one target for this summer.
AZP and Christensen
If Lenglet and D'Este leave Barca, who will be the stand-in? According to the Daily Sport, Barca have long been eyeing 3 defenders: Chelsea's Azpilicueta and Christensen, and Ajax's Mazlawi. Since January, Barça has been in talks.
The contracts of Azpilicueta, Christensen and Mazlavi with their respective clubs expire on June 30, which means that Barca can get three reinforcements without spending 1 cent. If Barca achieve "3 in, 2 out" and make a net profit of 50 million euros, Barca's defensive line transformation work this summer can get full points.
