Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez, is reportedly ready to sell at least seven players this summer transfer window as he looks to bolster his squad ahead of next season.

As reported by the Sun UK on Wednesday, the players Xavi wants to ship out of Barcelona before the start of the 2022/23 season are Neto, Samuel Umtiti, and Martin Braithwaite.

Others are academy duo Oscar Mingueza and Riqui Puig, with fellow La Masia graduate Rey Manaj joining English Championship side Watford yesterday.

Memphis Depay, meanwhile, could also be on his way out of Barcelona just a year after joining from Lyon.

The report added that Xavi views the players as surplus to requirements ahead of next season.

Xavi is aiming to be competitive in the LaLiga next season despite the club’s financial woes.

Xavi’s men finished in the second position on the LaLiga table last season behind champions Real Madrid.
