Barcelona are willing to part ways with as many as 14 players in a vast summer clear-out.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugrana are preparing to initiate a “remodelling” of their squad next season.
At present, Ronald Koeman’s future at the club has not yet been resolved, and Barca chiefs are still trying to get captain and talisman Lionel Messi to extend his contract for another two seasons before it expires.
But given their poor financial situation, Barca is set to part company with a whole host of first-teamers – whether that means through sales, loans or releases.
ℹ️ The departures of some ‘heavyweights’ who have a high salary, like Sergi Roberto, remains to be decided by the club. @ffpolo @sergisoleMD #Transfers ⏳

Neto, Samuel Umtiti, Junior Firpo, Matheus Fernandes, Martin Braithwaite, Philippe Coutinho and Miralem Pjanic are just some of the high-profile players who president Joan Laporta and Barcelona are looking to offload in what Mundo are calling “a revolution” at the Nou Camp.
The trio of Coutinho, Pjanic and Umtiti may be the hardest to shift due to their high wages.
