Deco ready to raise €200M from Barcelona summer sales

Barcelona sporting director Deco is ready to launch a big money clearout this summer.

Sport says Deco will seek to raise over 200m from the sales.

The first players to be dumped will be Sergi Roberto and Marcos Alonso - who will not be offered new contracts.

Deco's goal is then to sell players with the money to be used to lift the squad for next season. Raphinha , 27, is one of the players who will be asked to leave.

The Brazil winger previously had Deco as his agent, before he became sporting director.

Further, Sone of the centre-backs Andreas Christensen, Jules Kound or Ronald Arajo will be sold.

Bara would prefer to keep Arajo, but he is being chased by Bayern Munich and Manchester United - who are said to be ready to pay around 100m for him.
