Barcelona Atletic set for another shake-up as Rafa Marquez’s side say goodbye to nine players
Barcelona Atletic are set for a major overhaul again this summer after the club confirmed nine players were moving on after their contracts expired.
It’s been a good season for Rafa Marquez’s side who narrowly missed out on promotion to the Second Division after losing to Cordoba in the play-off finals.
That game was the last for many players with Barca confirming that Pau Víctor, Moha Moukhliss, Pelayo Fernandez, Marc Vidal, Naim Garcia, Jaume Cuéllar, Iker Goujon, Josep Cerdà and Saïdou Bah are all leaving.
We can also add striker Marc Guiu to that list, as the teenager is set to complete a move to Premier League side Chelsea very shortly for a fee of €6 million.
The loss of Guiu and Victor will be particularly felt. Victor was the team’s top scorer last season and netted 20 times. He is due to return to Girona after his season-long loan expired.
Barcelona are currently being linked with reinforcements. The club are keen on Mallorca striker Marc Doménech and also want exciting Nastic winger Jan Virgili.
