In the Camp Nou offices they are already beginning to make calculations to predict how the new signings will fit in in the next transfer market. In order to sign, some players must be released to help lighten the wage bill and balance balance sheets in order to have money for transfers. Thus, the name of Franck Kessié is one of the possible ‘sacrificed’ of the club as a sale to certify the signing of Ilkay Gündoganas ‘AS’ progresses.
In the hypothetical case of the arrival of the midfielder from City, the Ivorian would be left without a place in the squad and the club’s position would be to offer him the exit door. Kessié arrived at zero cost and its good performance has placed a good sign on the market. The transfer value of him in ‘Transfermarkt’ is 28 million euros. He could return to Italian football for a price of around 30 million, according to the aforementioned media.
It would be a purely institutional decision
Xavi has said on several occasions that he is very satisfied with his performance.Today Kessié himself confessed that “Xavi was the key to my signing for Barça”, so it would be a more institutional decision than a sporting one. One of those ‘forced transfers’ like Aubameyang’swho also came to the club at zero cost and went to Chelsea for 12 million euros.
Either way, the azulgrana team wants to make cash this summer and is aware that they are going to have to sell footballers who in a normal situation would not even consider transferring them. The case of Ansu Fati is the best example, as the club is seriously considering selling him despite being a youth player and still very young.
