The duo of Raphinha and Ansu Fati will leave Barcelona to make way for the return of Lionel Messi this summer.
Barcelona still want to bring back the Argentine World Cup winner and reportedly have a higher chance of doing so now.
El Nacional reports that the Catalan giants will have to let go of two first-team stars, Raphinha and Fati.
Messi is unlikely to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain after their failure to progress to the next stage of the Champions League this season.
The Argentine’s contract expires in June and Barca chiefs Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany are poised to take advantage of this opportunity to re-sign him.
A formal proposal, which outlines a two-year deal, has already been sent to Lionel Messi.
And the casualties of this move are expected to be Raphinha, who has failed to impress since he arrived at Camp Nou and Fati.
The club could look to raise significant funds from Fati’s departure and free up the coveted number ’10’ jersey for Lionel Messi.
