Barcelona Weighs Defender Departures Amid Squad Changes

FC Barcelona's Ansu Fati is attracting interest from Premier League clubs West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur, as he struggles to find a place in the team after returning from a loan at Brighton. Manager Hansi Flick has expressed disappointment in Fati's performance, stating he hasn't shown his full potential post-injury, leading to speculation about his future. Meanwhile, defender Ronald Araujo has opted to stay at Barcelona after rejecting offers from Juventus, with a contract renewal in the works. Following Araujo's decision, Barcelona is now open to selling defenders Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen to balance their squad and finances. Girona is reportedly interested in bringing back Garcia, while Christensen has garnered Premier League interest. The club aims to secure a loan deal for an attacking player, potentially Marcus Rashford, contingent on generating at least €6.5 million.
