Barca aiming for quick clear-out
Posted Wednesday, June 19, 2013 by Marca.com
Barcelona is aiming to get rid of any unwanted players in the next two weeks, but is well aware that transfers do not always go through before the desired deadlines.
The club is currently looking to offload four players immediately - Jonathan Dos Santos, Fontás, Afellay and Bojan. Tito Vilanova also wants to sell Isaac Cuenca, but the player's knee injury means he will have to remain at Barça at least until the winter transfer market.
The four players' time at the Catalan club has come to an end. Fontás – whose contract at Barça expires in 2015 – wants to leave and his next destination could be revealed this week. Dos Santos has been made an offer by Anderlecht. The midfielder still has two years left on his contract and the club hopes to receive at least €4 million for his transfer.
Meanwhile, the club is still looking to find a buyer for Afellay and Bojan, after the pair returned from their loan spells at Schalke 04 and AC Milan, respectively.
The La Liga champions are also trying to tie up loan deals for Rafinha and Deulofeu. The club has higher expectations from two other players - Bartra and Sergi Roberto – and also needs to resolve David Villa's future, with both parties waiting until the end of the Confederations Cup.
