3 Names Likely to Leave Barcelona in the Summer

"The Athletic" British network revealed that Barcelona is planning to make significant changes to the team's structure during the upcoming summer, with three prominent names among the candidates to leave.

According to the source, the trio Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araújo, and Marc Casadó are among the names that may depart from the team at the end of the current season.

Christensen's contract with Barcelona ends at the conclusion of this season, and the club has not yet opened any renewal negotiations, making his departure more likely than his staying, especially given the club's need to reduce the wage bill and rebuild the defensive line.

As for Araújo, he is going through a critical period with the team after a noticeable decline in his performance and committing several impactful mistakes in matches, which has prompted the sports management to reassess his future, particularly with growing interest from English Premier League clubs.

Meanwhile, midfielder Marc Casadó may seek a new challenge outside Camp Nou due to limited playing time under coach Hans Flick, which might lead the club to allow his departure to benefit financially and make room for new faces.
