Barca 'plan to raise further £134m in player sales'

Barcelona will look to bring in a further £134m in player sales before the transfer window closes, according to a report.

Barcelona are reportedly looking to bring in a further £134m in player sales before this summer's transfer window closes for business.

The Spanish champions have completed deals for the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong and Neto ahead of the 2019-20 campaign, while Jasper Cillessen, Andre Gomes and Denis Suarez have all departed.

According to ESPN, Ernesto Valverde's side are still hoping to be able to raise a further £134m through the potential departures of Philippe Coutinho, Malcom and Rafinha.

The report claims that offers would also be considered for Ivan Rakitic, Samuel Umtiti and Arturo Vidal, with Valverde keen to trim his squad before the new season kicks off.

Barca continue to be linked with a big-money swoop for Neymar, although Paris Saint-Germain are said to be holding firm on their £200m valuation.

The club's move for Griezmann, meanwhile, is under scrutiny as La Liga president Javier Tebas has confirmed that Atletico Madrid have launched a complaint.
