Barca receive 'crazy bids' for 7 players – probability rating of selling them this summer

Barcelona president Joan Laporta claims the club have received crazy offers for seven players. The craziest of the lot was for Lamine Yamal with Barca receiving a €200m bid, per Laporta.

Here's a probability rating of Barca selling each of the seven players named by Laporta.

Frenkie De Jong - 60%. The Dutchman's salary remains a problem Barca must ultimately sit down to solve this summer. The outcome of that meeting over his contract will determine De Jong's future. Everything remains on the balance for now.

Ronald Araujo - 50%. Barca did not move quickly to conclude talks about Araujo's contract which allowed Bayern to attempt turning his head. The thing is, Araujo's deal still isn't sorted and until that is done, his exit remains possible.

Fermín Lopez - 40%. Fermin seems like a player Barca could cash in on if they get a genuine offer. The club are still gunning for a midfielder who can play in a defensive position. That could make the youngster an expendable member of that Barca midfield. After all, they have Gavi, Pedri and Gundogan who can play the same role.

Alejandro Balde - 30%. Barcelona have Joao Cancelo covering at left-back with Hector Fort also bursting through. Mikayil Faye can also play that position well. Thus, if Barca were to receive a serious offer for Balde they might just sell him at a moment's notice.

Lamine Yamal - 10%. Let's face it, the chances of Barca selling Yamal are growing by the day. If Barca truly received a €200m offer for a player who's still 16 years old the club would've surely thought long and hard about it. They'd think about it again in the summer. Anything could realistically happen then.

Pedri - 2%. Besides his injury record, Pedri remains one of the most technically gifted midfielders in his position. However, clubs won't press Barcelona for his signature as they know he's unlikely to be sold. Let's not forget about that €1bn release clause.

Gavi - 1%. The never-say-die was bred in La Masia and probably loves the club more than anyone on this list. Thus, even if Barca wanted to sell it'd take a big fight to get Gavi out of the club.
