BARCELONA are preparing for a summer fire sale with up to EIGHT stars set for the chop.
They may have won La Liga at a canter this season and are still unbeaten, but the revolving door is set to be turning once again.
Heading the list of players leaving the Nou Camp according to Spanish news-site Sport.es, and sure to attract a fair bit of attention, is Andre Gomes.
The Portuguese international has failed to find his feet with the Catalans since joining from Valencia in the summer of 2016 in a £31million deal.
He has failed to push the likes of Andres Iniesta and Ivan Rakitic in the central midfield areas, and would bring in a nice amount when he is flogged.
Lucas Digne was also signed the same summer, joining from French giants PSG for around £15m, but he is another heading out.
He has failed to dislodge Jordi Alba as first-choice left-back.
Paco Alcacer, Denis Suarez, Aleix Vidal are all expected to head for pastures new also.

Rafinha, Munir El Haddadi and Gerard Deulofeu have spent parts of the season away from the club on loan, at Inter Milan, Alaves and Watford respectively.
And with all three expected to slip further down the pecking order should they return to the Spanish champs, it appears their days there are numbered.

For Deulofeu, it would be the second time he has left Barca – the first being when he joined Everton in 2015, only for the Spanish club to use the buy-back clause two years later.
