Barcelona has decided to open the door to the departure of three key players in Hansi Flick's scheme for the upcoming summer transfer window.
This decision comes in response to the urgent need to balance finances and achieve final stability in La Liga's Financial Fair Play.
Figures like Jules Koundé, Dani Olmo and Raphinha have gone from intangibles to transferable assets, but only under very specific conditions and with high financial demands.
This is not about a sports purge, but a financial strategy to finance the German coach's new desires.
Barcelona's defense could lose one of its most reliable pillars if an elite European club makes an offer.
The club would only consider offers for Jules Koundé if the figure reaches 80 million euros, an ambitious sum but in line with his level.
Flick is looking for a full-back with more attacking prowess and width on the wing, a profile that the Frenchman does not naturally fulfill.
His versatility to play in several positions remains his strongest point, but the management sees this as the last opportunity for a big financial gain.
In midfield, Dani Olmo's situation has sparked internal debate due to physical problems this season.
Despite his unquestionable technical quality, his injury history worries the medical staff.
Fermín López's excellent form and rapid growth have led the club to consider selling Olmo for around 70 million euros, to strengthen other more problematic areas according to the technical staff.
The news that has most affected the Blaugrana environment is the evaluation of the current captain and attacking reference on the right wing.
Barcelona would only be willing to part with Raphinha if the offer exceeds 100 million euros net.
Despite the spectacular season, his age is pushing the club to consider a record sale to renew the attack and find a younger profile to accompany Lamine Yamal.
The Brazilian is highly sought after in the Premier League and in the Saudi Arabian market, which could prompt a bidding war.
Unlike these three names, the rest of the team's core is considered non-negotiable at the moment.
Planning for the 2026 season depends directly on these potential departures to secure top-level reinforcements.

Time management will be crucial to avoid weakening the sporting project, while aiming for the financial health desired by Laporta. The market will decide whether these three players will continue with the Blaugrana jersey or will be sacrificed in the summer, in a transfer market where every million euros will be crucial for future success./Express newspaper/
