Newcastle United could look to capitalise on Barcelona's poor financial position as the La Liga look admit they may have to sell more players. The Barca president Joan Laporta has played down suggestions that Frenkie de Jong could be sold to help ease their financial problems, but admitted there are several players in Xavi's squad that will be moved on this summer.
Earlier this year, a report in Marca suggested De Jong could be among nine players that could leave the Nou Camp this summer. The report claims Neto, Clement Lenglet, Sergino Dest, Oscar Mingueza, Samuel Umtiti, Frenkie de Jong, Riqui Puig, Memphis Depay and Martin Braithwaite will be made available this summer.
Lenglet has since joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan until the end of the season and speculation continues to be rife surrounding Dutch dup De Jong and Depay. It's unlikely the Magpies would make an approach for the likes of Neto, Dest or Umtiti having strengthened their back line this summer and would also be unlikely to splash the cash beyond their means having promised a sensible approach.
