However, according to the Daily Mail, Barcelona will need to sell a number of their players in order to raise significant funds to supplement their transfer kitty.

The publication claims as many as nine players have been earmarked for sale ahead of the summer transfer window.

Marca reports Dutch stars Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay headline the long list of players who could be on their way out of the Camp Nou.

Other players who have been made available for the potential suitors include Neto, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, Oscar Mingueza, Samuel Umtiti, Riqui Puig, and Martin Braithwaite.

Frenkie de Jong wanted by Premier League clubs

Of the nine players, it is De Jong who could attract a substantial transfer fee, with a number of clubs believed to be interested in his services.

Manchester United and rivals, Man City, have both been linked with a move for the Netherlands international.

The Catalans have already reportedly set a £58m asking price on Dutchman, with the La Liga giants keen to recoup some of the money they invested in his transfer when they signed him from Ajax.

While De Jong has been a regular in the Barcelona team this season, reports suggest Barca are looking to move him on in order for Xavi to continue his squad rebuild.

Pogba set for Man United exit

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Man United midfielder Paul Pogba has been linked with a reunion with Juventus at the end of the season.

Pogba will be out of contract at United this summer, presenting Juve with an excellent opportunity to re-sign the Frenchman for free.

The Serie A giants are believed to have tabled a lucrative offer for the United academy graduate to make a return to Turin.
