The Liga giants are open to negotiate the sale of a number of players if fair terms are agreed upon during the summer season.
Barcelona would accept a price of roughly €60 million (£51 million/$63 million) for Manchester United-linked Frenkie de Jong, according to GOAL, with the Liga giants open to offers for a number of players on their books.
With resources still needing to be carefully managed following the disclosure of some eye-watering debts, those in Catalunya are aware that agreements made during the summer transfer window might assist to free up much-needed funds and squad space.
Taking this into consideration, and with interest said to be growing in various saleable assets, it is possible that there will be a lot of movement in and out of Camp Nou in the coming months as Xavi attempts to put together a squad capable of retaking the domestic crown from arch-rivals Real Madrid in 2022-23.
Could Man Utd target Frenkie de Jong be sold?
De Jong joined Barcelona from Ajax in the summer of 2019 in a transaction costing €75 million (£64 million) and an additional €11 million (£9 million/$11 million) in add-ons, with a salary of €12 million each season and a contract that includes a €400 million (£342 million/$417 million) release clause.
With that contract set to expire in 2026, the Blaugrana know they can command a high price for the Netherlands international midfielder.
It is believed that bids beyond €50 million (£43 million/$52 million) would bring Barcelona to the negotiation table, while proposals exceeding €60 million would be impossible to turn down.
Those in the boardroom recognize that it would be foolish not to join into negotiations if reasonable bids are presented for players who are considered replaceable, such as Dutch midfielder De Jong.
That could be music to the ears of Manchester United, who are ready to welcome Erik ten Hag into their dugout at the conclusion of the season after completing the 2021-22 season with Ajax.
He previously worked with De Jong in Amsterdam and is thought to be keen in reuniting at Old Trafford, with the Red Devils poised to spend heavily on engine room reinforcements.
