this is what I would change this summer :
1st keep gundo (best player this season) and lewa. hear me out.
yes he's far from his prime but even at his prime in bayern, he had the likes of muller, sane, coman, davies all feeding him crosses, he never really was a 'suarez' single handedly able to flip the score board he always needed visionary midfielders (pedri, gavi, gundo) and quick wingers on the sides (yamal, balde, Cancelo(fits more as a winger tbh)) plus we always have raphinha to drop an assist here and there, but he's still a deadly striker in the box.
2nd Absolutely keep araujo cubarsi and Christensen. all been crucial and had a very positive season overall.
3rd if we keep dejong he's still plenty for his position, if we do sell him we MUST sign silva.
4th Let felix go, too inconsistent.
5th keep cancelo as an alternative for balde.
6th sell romeo (obviously), alonso (also obviously), inego (had a reasonable season but i don't think we need him, sergi roberto (he rarely plays anyways so just let the legend go to miami already lmao), ferran (also too inconsistent imo) and loan/sell any "unpromising" young midfielders to develop, this should help us with the wage a bit.
this squad i beleive is a winner squad, but ultimately xavi has to keep the flame going and manage connections and relations between the team, that what will have 70% of the result, look at leverkusen.

My brother in christ where do we get the money if you want to keep all the big names? In an ideal world, we definitely wouldn’t have to make any sales because this team is stacked in every position except lw and cdm but in reality, those are the priorities and in order to fulfil those priorities and stick with xavi, one of fdj, lewa, araujo, kounde, Christensen will have to leave. I might put raphina in that list as well but lad has won my heart from the starting so I wouldn’t want him to leave.
The potential problem is now with kubarsi or yamal fermin lopez
That they will demand an increase in salary
The value they put is higher than the wage of them…
Finished player in the pl take higher than him by miles
