On the departure ramp, for now, appear:<\/p>  <ol> <li> <strong>Ter Stegen<\/strong>: the German will be a substitute after the signing of Joan Garc\u00eda and the renewal of Szczesny. Galatasaray wants him, but there is still no formal negotiation in progress. The &#8216;1&#8217;, in addition, insists on staying to fight for the starting position.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a<\/strong>: the Alicante native also has no place in the squad with the arrival of the former Espanyol goalkeeper. Several LaLiga clubs have him on their radar and his transfer could be closed for less than 10 M\u20ac.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>H\u00e9ctor Fort<\/strong>: he was the defender with the fewest minutes played (710&#8242;) in the 24\/25 season after Christensen. Eric Garc\u00eda will be Kound\u00e9&#8217;s substitute and the &#8217;18&#8217;, whose contract ends in 2026, is obliged to look for a team.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Gerard Mart\u00edn<\/strong>: Flick is counting on him as Balde&#8217;s substitute, but the interest of several English clubs could leave Bar\u00e7a with around 15 &#8216;kilos&#8217;, enough to go for another left-back in the summer market (Alejandro Grimaldo, the favorite).<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Pablo Torre<\/strong>: like H\u00e9ctor Fort, the Cantabrian was condemned to ostracism by the tough competition in the azulgrana squad. A transfer with a repurchase option for less than 10 M\u20ac seems sensible to let him leave.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Pau V\u00edctor<\/strong>: the striker has a contract until 2029 and could go on loan to another LaLiga team. In the 24\/25 season he counted little or nothing for Flick and, with Nico Williams in the squad, he has no option to stay.<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Ansu Fati<\/strong>: another fixed discard of the coach since the beginning of 2025. The &#8217;10&#8217; is an economic burden for the club due to his high salary (14 M\u20ac gross), this being the great obstacle to negotiate his loan.
