Spanish giants FC Barcelona are prepared to offload six players as the summer transfer market enters its crazy last few days.

The Blaugrana completed the signings of five players but were able to register four La Liga before their game against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

The Catalan giants were able to register Robert Lewandowski, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, and Raphina except for French defender Koundé who is currently recovering from injury.

The five-time UEFA Champions League winners have carried out a thorough in-house cleaning with as many as 13 players leaving the club this summer.

However, some departures and arrivals are still being expected as the transfer market is set to come to a close on September 1.

As reported by GhanaBallers, Barcelona are prepared to let go six players as they are deemed surplus to requirement this season.

Among the players expected to depart the Camp Nou outfit are Sergino Dest, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Martin Braithwaite, Memphis Depay, Frenkie de Jong and Samuel Umtiti.

With the club’s finances still very much making headlines, some felt that Barcelona should instead focus on registering Koundé before attempting to bring new players into the club.
