There is no doubt that FC Barcelona are going through a highly complicated financial situation at the moment. The club has already consumed almost all of its available levers, but still has to balance the books with a significant income.

Furthermore, the Catalans also want to bring in significant reinforcements for the next season in the coming summer transfer window. In such a scenario, one of the most favorable ways out for the club from this economic mess is the sale of some of their important players, who command high values in the market.

According to SPORT, there are three highly important players for whom the Catalans have already received offers, i.e., Raphinha, Araujo, and Frenkie de Jong. Laporta has already informed of this scenario to some groups associated with the club.

The case of Ronald Araujo is the best known. The defender wants to remain at Barcelona, and the club also wants to retain him, but Bayern Munich are pushing for a move, and the Catalan club needs money.

Barcelona will do everything possible to keep him, but nothing is certain at this point in time. His agents were also seen in Barcelona offices on Wednesday.

In regards to Frenkie, Barcelona have offered him a contract renewal, but will look to sell him if he does not accept that proposal with lowered wages in the coming weeks.

The midfielder might be open for a change of scenery, and Tottenham have already reportedly sent a €60 million offer for him. However, there are other clubs also interested in him, and Barcelona are also in no hurry to part with the player.

Raphinha also has a lot of demand in the market, and Tottenham are also interested in him. The London side can pay up to €70 million for him, and there are other sides interested in the winger as well.
