"Barcelona" plans to release stars for free © AFP

„Barcelona“ is trying to get out of a difficult situation. The „La Liga“ team wholeheartedly wants to extend cooperation with leader Lionel Messi, who recently became a free agent. The Catalans must quickly gather a large sum of money for the Argentine's contract and for this reason intend to „sacrifice“ well-known players. As reported by „Mundo Deportivo“, „Barcelona“ will let go this summer the goalkeeper Miralem Pjanić and defender Samuel Umtiti without charging a transfer fee. Thus, the club hopes to save money, which was previously allocated for player salaries and to allocate these funds for the maintenance of L. Messi."
