In Barcelona, they continue to constantly deal with the issue of Leo Messi's possible comeback, and they understand the costs involved.
Barcelona's financial situation is far from ideal, so the team formulated a plan to finance the return of the flea, which includes the sale of no less than five players.
According to "Mundo Deportivo", Barca's plan is to put Enso Fati, Rafinha, Eric Garcia, Frank Casilla and Fran Torres up for sale, with the aim of reaching a total profit of around 100 million euros from the deals on them.
This will allow the signing of Leo Messi, as well as the new contracts of Ronald Araujo, Gabi, Marcos Alonso and Sergi Roberto.
In Barcelona, they believe that the five players mentioned above, mainly Rafinha and Fati, "have a big market" and that their sale will generate high (and necessary) profits for the club.
Only one of them will be in the team next season.

Those who are expected to remain with Messi, if a move to bring him back succeeds, are Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele.
According to "Sport", Xavi has already held personal talks with the two, explained the situation with Messi, and has already informed them of his plans on how to integrate him into their side, hoping to make Barcelona "one of the best attacking teams in the world, if not the best".
