FC Barcelona is trying to find the best ways to keep its crucial players for next season and not have to sell them to gain funds. The Catalan club has received offers from other clubs for some of their important players in the team. Frenkie De Jong and Ronald Araujo have been linked to moving to other clubs this summer, but the two players seem comfortable at FC Barcelona. While those players seem like players set to stay next season, the club will have to find a way to keep their two crucial loan players in Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo.

Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo are loan players at the club, and they both seem important to the team this season. Both Portuguese players want to stay at FC Barcelona next season, but it seems complicated for the club due to the financial problems they are facing. Atletico Madrid is willing to sell Joao Felix but for over $100 million. FC Barcelona plans on signing Joao Felix on another season-long loan again next season.

FC Barcelona was confident of signing Joao Cancelo from Manchester City this summer, but now the English club is reportedly asking for more money. Barcelona was reportedly willing to pay Manchester City around $25 million to sign the Portuguese fullback. FC Barcelona were also considering to bring Cancelo next season on a loan deal like Joao Felix. Sport reports that Manchester City is only considering a permanent sale for Joao Cancelo this summer, which makes it difficult for Barca. They are open to selling him to the highest bidder, setting the player's value at $43 million, which could come from Premier League clubs or even Saudi Arabia.
