Xavi Hernandez has apparently already identified some candidates for departure at FC Barcelona, including a surprising personality: Raphinha.
According to Xavi Hernandez, FC Barcelona should part with three players. As the “Sport” reports, the coach has made representations to the board and has classified the trio consisting of Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Hector Bellerin as the actors for whom he sees no future.
The big surprise is Raphinha. Barça tried extremely hard last summer for the Brazilian World Cup participant, who was brought in at Xavi’s explicit request – and for which a transfer fee of up to 70 million euros can be incurred. However, Raphinha has not played a central role in the course of the season so far.
Kessie and Bellerin were also added for the current season, but could not fight for a place. Kessie has hardly any minutes to his credit and is pretty far down the midfield hierarchy. Bellerin’s contract is only for one year.
