Barcelona are preparing for a busy summer transfer window, and before any major arrivals are sanctioned, the club is shifting its focus to player exits.
According to SPORT, three players are on the verge of leaving the club at different capacities, namely Ansu Fati, Pablo Torre, and Pau Victor.
Having spent the early part of the summer prioritising renewals and long-term squad planning, the next step in Barcelona’s roadmap is to make space in the squad, both financially and tactically.
While departures are expected across multiple levels of the team, the situations of Ansu, Torre and Victor are receiving particular attention.
Ansu Fati: Time up at Barcelona
Once heralded as Lionel Messi’s heir, Ansu’s decline in importance at Barça has been sharp and undeniable. After an underwhelming loan spell at Brighton, the winger has accepted his marginal role in Hansi Flick’s plans.
Negotiations with AS Monaco are reportedly in advanced stages, with a loan deal that includes an option to buy the likeliest outcome.
A permanent exit may be on the cards depending on his performance in Ligue 1, with Barcelona open to letting go as part of their broader restructuring.

Despite occasional flashes of promise, Torre has hardly featured under Flick.
His current contract runs until 2026, but with first-team chances virtually non-existent, the club must now choose between a renewal followed by a loan or a straight transfer with potential buy-back options.
Torre remains a valuable asset, technically gifted and capable of contributing elsewhere, but his path at Barcelona appears blocked by the emergence of other midfield options.
Pau Victor: Future under evaluation
Victor was permanently signed from Girona last summer after a loan stint with Barça Atletic and his deal runs until 2029.
However, with few opportunities under Flick, the club is now considering whether to loan him out or sell with a repurchase clause.
Multiple clubs have expressed interest, and a temporary move could be beneficial for all parties if it ensures regular minutes and continued development.
