Barcelona transfer rumours

Despite Lionel Messi wanting to play next to Antoine Griezmann and demanding re-signing Neymar during the summer, the Catalans will go all out in their pursuit for Kylian Mbappe, according to the Fox Sports. Barcelona are so desperate to bring him in, that they will be willing to exchange three players for the France international.
Ivan Rakitic could be the first sacrifice made by Josep Maria Bartomeu. Age is already a factor against the Croatia international whose stock is still high and Frenkie de Jong’s arrival has only gone on to complicate matters for Rakitic. Paris Saint-Germain are keen on signing him so he could be the first of three casualties in Mbappe’s proposed deal.
Secondly, Samuel Umtiti will also be sent to the Parc de Princes. The France international has already fallen below Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet in the pecking order at the Camp Nou. If Matthijs de Ligt is signed, matters would only get worse for the central defender and hence, a Barcelona departure is the best thing that could happen to Umtiti given the situation right now.
Finally, Ousmane Dembele will also be shipped out in all probability. The former Borussia Dortmund winger could be headed out of Catalonia behind Philippe Coutinho after virtually flopping at the business end of this campaign. Should the three players all leave, Barcelona will have a large wage to offer to Mbappe as well.
