**Barcelona Needs to Sell Players to Sign New Talent in Summer**

After a relatively calm January transfer window that was mostly focused on player renewals, FC Barcelona is gearing up for a busier summer, planning to strengthen the team.

**Strengthening the Squad**

The club is targeting reinforcements in the attacking position, considering players like Alexander Isak and Rafael Leão. Barcelona is also looking to strengthen the right-back position to provide support for Jules Koundé.

**Financial Considerations**

According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona needs to improve its financial position before making any significant moves in the summer transfer window. Since January 3, the club has been operating under La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule due to a €28 million investment obtained through a 30-year agreement for 475 VIP seats at Spotify Camp Nou. However, more financial flexibility is still required.

To bring in new players, Barcelona will either need to increase revenue or reduce wages, as any income generated can be reinvested into new signings.

**Importance of Player Sales**

Departures of players will be essential for Barcelona to strengthen the team while adhering to financial regulations.

**Potential Departures**

Ansu Fati, whose high salary makes him a prime candidate for a move, could be sold. In defense, the potential signing of Jonathan Tah might lead to an overload of center-backs, raising questions about the futures of Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo.

While Barcelona plans to keep Araujo, they would consider negotiations if the defender requests a transfer. On the other hand, the club is reportedly open to offers for Christensen, whose contract runs through 2026.

**Other Uncertain Futures**

Inaki Peña’s future is uncertain after his recent drop in the pecking order. While a move for Frenkie de Jong would provide significant financial relief, the Dutch midfielder is not currently looking for a transfer.

Ultimately, Barcelona’s ability to strengthen the team will depend on balancing its financial situation through these potential player sales.
