"Barcelona" announces clearance sale: half of the players will leave the club

The new Barcelona club coach Ernesto Valverde is already rolling up his sleeves for the upcoming summer transfer market work.

"OK Diario" reports that the specialist will not hesitate and approximately half of the current Catalan team players will be forced to pack their bags.

New teams will have to be found for players such as Jordi Alba, Ivan Rakitic, Rafinha, Arda Turan, Aleix Vidal, Jeremy Mathieu, Lucas Digne, Denis Suarez, and Paco Alcacer.

Having sold famous names, Barcelona plans to accumulate around 150 million euros, which will be used to lure important newcomers.

The list includes Sevilla player Steven N'Zonzi, Villarreal representative Manu Trigueros, Athletic defender Aymeric Laporte, and Everton's Gerardo Deulofeu.

Meanwhile, Ander Herrera and Hector Bellerin are unlikely to leave the Manchester United and Arsenal teams.
