The Barcelona superstars that could be heading to the Premier League this summer

Relinquishing their La Liga crown last season and eventually parting ways with Xavi following more drama behind the scenes in Catalonia, Barcelona are still a club dealing with a string of public issues. 

Appointing former Germany boss Hansi Flick last month, there has been plenty of speculation on which Barca superstars could be forced out of the Nou Camp exit.

Watching La Masia academy graduate Marc Guiu complete a £5million move to Chelsea this week, it has been suggested that more Barca stars could be set for a Premier League switch this summer.

With the hierarchy in Catalonia making it clear that they are intent on once again splashing their number wage bill, some of the big name stars are attracting plenty of English interest.

Ronald Araujo

With a host of Premier League heavyweights in the market for a new central defender this summer, Ronald Araujo has certainly attracted plenty of interest over the past few months.

Although Barcelona might have stated that they wish to keep the Uruguayan defender ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, Araujo is reportedly open to a move away from Catalonia.

Away with Uruguay at this summer’s Copa America, the 25-year-old was named in last season’s La Liga Team of the Year and has quickly established himself as one of Europe’s hottest defensive stars.

Watching German giants Bayern Munich fail with an audacious swoop during January’s transfer window, The Metro are reporting that both Manchester United and Chelsea have placed Araujo on their summer shortlist.

However, while there might be plenty of speculation that Barca could be forced to part with their defensive talisman, Mundo Deportivo have suggested that the Catalonia hierarchy have placed a €100million price tag on the 19-cap international.
