Barcelona are set to continue their busy transfer window by selling a number of players before deadline day on 31 August.

The Catalan club have made five high-profile signings this summer as they look to compete for silverware in the 2022-23 season.

And head coach Xavi Hernandez is looking to add further reinforcements, with Bernardo Silva and Marcos Alonso linked with moves to Camp Nou.

But the Blaugrana need to make some more sales in order to fund those deals, and so several players could be leaving Camp Nou in the next few days.

Many of them could even be first-team regulars at teams in European competition.

Which players could Barcelona sell before the transfer window closes?

The player most likely to go is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who looks set to reunite with Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea, having previously worked with him at Borussia Dortmund.

The Blues will fork out a fee of around €25 million for the Gabon forward, and the player is reportedly keen on the move.

Xavi’s wish was to keep Aubameyang, who only joined in January, but for the money involved, it seems like a good deal to accept.

Another forward close to an exit is Memphis Depay, who signed for the club in last summer's transfer window.

Depay is keen to stay, only considering a departure to a Champions League club, which nearly happened with Juventus.

But Depay and Juventus never reached an agreement on personal terms, which came as a surprise to many, giving other clubs a chance to sign him instead.

Finally, Miralem Pjanic could also finally leave the club, with an unnamed club from Qatar showing an interest in the Bosnian midfielder.

The 32-year-old spent last season on loan at Turkish Super Lig side Beskitas, and his Barca career was seemingly over.

Pjanic has since worked his way into Xavi's plans, as as backup to legendary midfielder Sergio Busquets, but he will still be sold if an important offer arrives.
