But at the same time certain prominent players such Jordi Alba and Eric Garcia are facing unclear futures at the team.

The seasoned left-back will be offered a straight wage drop or a downward renewal by the Catalans.

However if a deal cannot be completed it is possible that the club may try to transfer him.

especially because Xavi no longer regularly includes him in his plans.

Recent rumours however have indicated that Xavi and his team want to stick onto Eric and develop him into a pivot midfielder for the upcoming season.

However because he was a free agent Barcelona would get a lower transfer price for him.

as profits on the books so a sale is not out of the question if a strong offer comes in.
