Each team: Araujo and Fermin are unwilling to leave the team, Barcelona s plan to make big money is delayed

The Daily Sports Daily published an article reporting on Barcelona's selling situation.

Barcelona management is fully committed to all possible departure operations. Deco has basically finalized the transfer of Pablo Torre and Fati and terminated the contract with Lenglet. Players such as Paul Victor and Penia will also leave the team, but this summer still seems to be unable to achieve the major sale the club expects, and this plan may be postponed to 2026.

Although Barcelona is ready for a major deal and clearly marked two players available for sale, Fermin and Araujo. The core problem is that both of them have no intention of leaving the team at present, even though Ferming has received a very tempting offer. In the absence of a major transfer, Barcelona has very limited room for recruitment, except for the finalized Joan Garcia and the upcoming Nico Williams.

Deke has always advocated giving priority to retaining its own youth training talents rather than external signings, and is cautious about selling players. However, the club believes that this summer is the best time to obtain important revenue and not affect the complete lineup. The team is currently overcrowded. If Nico is signed, there will be redundant offensive midfield position. Therefore, although Araujo and Fermin were listed on the list, their willingness to operate was not strong.

It is worth noting that from July 1 to 15, Araujo's liquidated damages will be reduced to 65 million euros, which will allow him to automatically enter the transfer market. Although the door to opportunity has been opened, Araujo and Ferming both refused to leave the team, even though Chelsea was willing to pay a huge transfer fee far exceeding the market price for the latter. This fund could have solved Barcelona's urgent need, but now there is basically no hope.

The consensus within Barcelona is that players must be toughly promoted in 2026, because there is no room for delay by then. The summer transfer window after the World Cup may become a good opportunity, and players such as Rafinia may be on the for sale list. Players such as Garvey and Fermin will also become a key factor in the new season. If the opportunities are limited, their confidence and loyalty in the Barcelona program may be shaken.

One of the clearest thing is that Barcelona must introduce top centers next summer window, and Lewandowski's contract will expire at that time. If there is no major sale, operation will be extremely difficult. Deco has locked the entire team with long-term contracts and high liquidated damages, but the club still requires it to generate revenue. Lamacia's youth training camp continues to produce new stars, and the weight of top football transfers is increasing day by day. Unless an accident occurs, Barcelona's revenue this summer will still be lower than expected, and the situation in the coming year remains to be determined.
