Barcelona are still going through a financial crisis with the club left to sell some of their top stars before bringing in fresh legs.
Ahead of what is expected to be a busy transfer window for Xavi Hernandez and his team, Barcelona sporting director Deco has reportedly identified two players that he thinks the club are most likely to sell this summer.
The two players in question are none other than Raphinha and Ronald Araujo, according to Laia Tudel at Catalunya Radio.
Raphinha and Ronald Araujo’s future at Barcelona are being monitored by top clubs in Europe and their exit would command a high transfer fee.

Although both players are willing to continue at Barcelona, the Spanish club might try to change their minds if the right offer comes in..
Deco used to represent Raphinha but had to step down from his role with the Brazilian after he took up his current post as sporting director.
Raphinha is yet to get a new agent and that will make things easier for interested club. Meanwhile, Araujo has been linked with a move away for a while now.
Bayern Munich are said to be keen on the defender while Paris Saint-Germain amd Manchester United have also been mentioned in some quarters.
Barcelona fans are hoping the team gets organized ahead of next season as they aim to win trophies having gone trophyless this season.
