The Barcelona summer transfer firesale that will interest Arsenal

Barcelona were humiliated in the Champions League this week.

And there is set to be major upheaval at the Camp Nou.

Manager Quique Setien is set to be sacked, with a number of high-profile candidates being lined up to replace him, including Mauricio Pochettino and Thierry Henry.

Barca were dumped out of the Champions League in extraordinary fashion on Thursday night, thrashed 8-2 by Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

And it is not only Setien who faces an uncertain future now, the players are also in threat of being dumped by the club after a poor season.

Arsenal will be alerted to a potential firesale at the Camp Nou, having been linked with a number of Barcelona players before.

And according to Mundo Deportivo, there are a number of players that could be of interest to the Gunners ahead of the new 2020/21 campaign.

The Spanish publication report that as many as nine players could be up for sale this summer in a move that is designed to shake the squad up.

Among the players Barcelona are prepared to listen to offers for are Luis Suarez, who only has a year left on his contract, Samuel Umtiti, Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann, as well as Ivan Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Nelson Semedo and Jordi Alba.

Arsenal have been linked with transfer moves for Dembele, Suarez and Umtiti before and Mikel Arteta could be encouraged to make a move once more this summer.
