Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba & Ivan Rakitic tipped to be the first to leave Barcelona

Speculation over the futures of several Barcelona players continues to swirl ahead of the start of the new season in Spain.

New boss Ronald Koeman is expected to shake up the squad after the Champions League disaster and move on some of the club’s ageing stars.

Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba are two names being put forward by Sport as potential departures because the duo “are on wages that the club can no longer afford to pay.”

The Uruguayan has already said he wants to stay and is willing to be a substitute, but Barca want to sell so that they can bring in Lautaro Martinez as his replacement.
