Several Barcelona players are out of Xavi Hernandez's plans because of the increased level of the competition or their poor level on the field. Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Gerard Pique are close to leaving Barca.
The midfielder's contract expires in 2023 and he will leave Barca in order to join the MLS. The defenders' situation is more complicated because they have a contract with Barcelona until June 2024.
Xavi has already said that he does not count on them for his defence. Araujo, Kounde, Eric Garcia and Christensen are ahead of the Barca captain. Balde from the Barcelona academy and Marcos Alonso are Xavi's preferences in order to replace Jordi Alba.
However, according to 'Mundo Deportivo', the board has not started with the negotiations, which are not ruled out, but in any case the club insists that they have not been started.
Barcelona will have to pay the fair play for the next transfer window in summer which means that the team will have to pay their settlement even if they are not in the squad.
As a result, Laporta has talked with other presidents and he wants to reach an agreement with La Liga's president Javier Tebas: if the clubs have the money to sell some players and the capacity to do so with those who do not count, this could be done as long as it does not penalise the team.
