3 players who are likely to leave FC Barcelona this summer

The 21st edition of the quadrennial FIFA World Cup event came to an eventful end as an Mbappe-inspired France got the better of Luka Modric's Croatia to seal the title. Now, football fans across the globe shift their focus back to club football.

The summer transfer window is not closed, and clubs are trying hard to lure the players they desire. Despite winning La Liga and Copa del Ray last season, FC Barcelona's incredible performance was dwarfed by Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League triumph.

FC Barcelona is determined to go one better this time and dethrone Real Madrid from its European reign. For that, they are planning to add some more talented players into their arsenal.

However, there are many players who are linked with an exit from Camp Nou this summer. These incredibly talented players will likely switch their bases to clubs unknown in search of greener pastures. In this article, we take a look at 3 players who are likely to leave FC Barcelona this summer.

#3 Andre Gomes

Where would Gomes head this season?

You knew this was coming, didn't you? Andre Gomes' stint at FC Barcelona has been underwhelming. The central midfielder who made his move to the Catalan club from Valencia in 2016 has had a poor showing for the Catalan giants.

The Portuguese midfielder couldn't become a pivotal player at FC Barcelona. He only made 16 La Liga appearances for FC Barcelona last season, with the majority coming as substitute appearances.

It was difficult for Gomes to establish himself as a regular in FC Barcelona's star-studded midfield. He also failed to impress the team when he was given chances to shine. If reports in the European media are to be believed, Andre Gomes has offers from both Tottenham and Arsenal.

Under the guidance of Unai Emery, Arsenal is rebuilding their squad ahead of next season. They have already signed a few worthwhile additions and are driven to sign more players.

Whereas Tottenham Hotspur under the tutelage of Pochettino have been impressive in the English Premier League. The club is looking to add a new midfielder to their ranks and Gomes ticks all the boxes.

#2 Yerry Mina

Mina's decision to join Barcelona has backfired

Like Gomes, the Colombian defender had a disappointing outing for Barca last season. Once touted as the next big thing in South American football, his time at FC Barcelona has not gone the way both parties might have intended.

Yerry Mina who plied his trade for Colombia in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, has numerous offers on the table, with most being from English Premier League clubs.

If reports are to be believed, English sides like Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham, and German behemoths Borussia Dortmund are all keen to secure the services of this highly-talented player.

A player of Mina's calibre should get appropriate playing time to flourish, and if the offers are concrete, Barcelona would let the Brazilian go.

#1 Jasper Cillessen

Cillessen impressed one and all last season

There is no denying that Jasper Cillessen is a good goalie, but at FC Barcelona he doesn't get the adequate playing time he needs to become the best goalkeeper.

The 29 year old footballer showed glimpses of his abilities for his national team and FC Barcelona last season, where he was number 2 with Ter Stegen being the number 1. Cillessen impressed one and all with his performances in the Cup competitions.

It is unlikely that he will get regular playing time at FC Barcelona next season. Ter Stegen is the primary choice at the Catalan club following his incredible performances so far.

Cillessen has received plenty of offers. He was linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, but the Reds have decided to go for Alisson Becker. However, Chelsea and AS Roma are also in the race to sign Cillessen.

Cillessen certainly has it in him to make it big in European club football, a move away from Camp Nou will only do good for the Dutch shot-stopper.
