Barcelona's sporting department is pushing to resolve several important squad decisions as quickly as possible before making further moves in the transfer market.
According to Mundo Deportivo 📰, the club's priority is to finalize the situations of Marc-André ter Stegen, Marc Casadó, and Roony Bardghji, while the futures of Ronald Araújo and Alejandro Balde remain open.
Ter Stegen, Casadó and Bardghji Top the Agenda
The report states that Barcelona are working to complete Marc-André ter Stegen's expected loan move, with Ajax still negotiating the final details of the operation. While an agreement with the player is largely in place, financial and tax-related issues continue to delay the official announcement.
At the same time, the club hopes to resolve Marc Casadó's future as soon as possible. The midfielder continues to attract interest from several clubs, and Barcelona believe his departure could generate valuable income while also creating more room under Financial Fair Play rules.
Another player expected to leave is Roony Bardghji. Barcelona's preferred solution remains a loan move, allowing the Swedish youngster to play regular first-team football after struggling for minutes behind the club's established attacking options.
Araújo and Balde Are Not Untouchable
Mundo Deportivo also reports that Ronald Araújo's future is still open. Although the Uruguayan remains an important player for Hansi Flick and has joined the squad for the pre-season camp in England after recovering from injury, Barcelona would study the situation if an exceptional offer arrived.
The same applies to Alejandro Balde. The left-back is not actively on the transfer list, but the club would be willing to evaluate a significant proposal should one arrive during the remainder of the transfer window.
Departures Could Unlock Barça's Next Moves
Barcelona remain focused on balancing the squad while improving their Financial Fair Play position. Resolving these pending situations would not only reduce the wage bill but also give the club greater flexibility to complete the signings Hansi Flick and Deco are targeting before the transfer window closes.
With more than a month still remaining in the market, the coming weeks are expected to be decisive for both departures and new arrivals.
