Five Barcelona players Valverde wants out in January

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has decided as to which five players he wants to sell from Barcelona this January.

It is said that full-back Aleix Vidal tops the list of players on the transfer market and will be sold once a suitable offer arrives for him. It is said that Lionel Messi is comfortable with having Vidal in the side, but Valverde sees him as being surplus to requirements at the Catalan club

Barcelona are looking to free up some cash and bring more cash in the vault to bring Philippe Coutinho to the Nou Camp and would have to empty the locker room by selling players.

Apart from Aleix Vidal, former Atletico Madrid star Arda Turan is one of those players who will likely be sold. The likes of Rafinha, Paco Alcacer, Thomas Vermaelen and Andre Gomes are also set to be sold.

Gomes nearly left Barcelona on deadline day this past summer but a move to Tottenham fell through.
