The trio's deals will be inscribed as a priority, above new players coming in

Barcelona are prioritising the inscriptions of the new contracts they have agreed for Ronald Araujo, Gavi and soon Alejandro Balde, above new signings. The club have taken their salary limit issue with La Liga to court to try and solve the case, while hoping that Memphis Depay's departure can at least help these three players move on to their new contracts.

The Blaugrana understands that it is fair to prioritise getting these three raises in above any new player.

The three players have done brilliantly and have bright and long futures at Barcelona - Gavi and Araujo have signed deals while Balde's is soon to be sealed.

The squad is with the three and hope the situation can be resolved quickly - it's strange that they are three of the worst paid players in the squad with the level of performance they are giving.

 

The group is united and think that it's most important to get them on their new deals.
