4 players have uncertain futures at Barcelona as Hansi Flick plans January exodus: Reports
Barcelona are reportedly looking forward to revamping the squad, as Ronald Araujo, Hector Fort, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati can leave La Blaugrana in the winter transfer window, as per Fichajes. The La Liga giants are looking to optimize the team's financial situation by offloading a few players.
As a result, four players can depart from Catalonia this winter. Hansi Flick has been unhappy with Ansu Fati's performances since he returned to Barcelona from Brighton and Hove Albion in June. Fati has played only seven matches across competitions, accumulating a game time of only 158 minutes.
Ferran Torres has also fallen behind in the pecking order, having started only six games in the La Liga. A frontline trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal is working well for Flick's men, who are at the top of the league table. Torres' recent performances could persuade Barcelona to change their decision, but inconsistency is still an issue for the Spaniard.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo is yet to make an appearance for La Blaugrana this season due to a hamstring injury. Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi are currently doing well for Hansi Flick's side, and that has raised doubts over Flick's stance on Araujo.
As per the aforementioned report, young defender Hector Fort could also leave the La Liga giants on a loan deal as he's currently behind Jules Kounde in the pecking order.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal interested in signing Barcelona star in 2025: Reports
Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Brazilian attacker Raphinha in 2024, as per TBR Football. The La Liga giants were looking to sell Raphinha last summer as they wanted to fund a move for Nico Williams.
Under Hansi Flick, the 28-year-old has established himself as a leader and key player. In 24 appearances for La Blaugrana, Raphinha has bagged 17 goals and 10 assists across competitions. The Brazilian attacker has scored two hat-tricks this season, against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League (4-1) and Real Valladolid in La Liga (7-0).
As per the aforementioned report, the chances of Barcelona letting Raphinha leave the Camp Nou are slim. Nevertheless, the La Liga giants are still looking forward to signing more attackers in the upcoming transfer windows as they aim to strengthen their bench.
