Barcelona planning 2027 exits for Araujo and Ter Stegen
Barcelona are reportedly preparing to sell Ronald Araujo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the summer of 2027. The club hopes Liverpool will make Araujo's loan permanent for about 55 million euros and wants Ter Stegen's salary off the books. Sales may be necessary to fund squad improvements, especially with Barcelona set to return to Montjuic.
Barcelona are reportedly lining up two departures for summer 2027. Ronald Araujo, currently on loan at Liverpool, has made a positive early impression in England, and the Catalan club hopes the Reds will buy him permanently for roughly €55 million.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is also expected to be sold. He is on loan at Ajax and has returned to Germany's squad, which Barcelona believe could help attract a permanent buyer. The club wants his large salary removed from its payroll. Barcelona's economic vice-president has indicated exits are needed before January arrivals.
If these sales proceed, they could affect Barcelona's squad depth, payroll flexibility, and ability to strengthen, which may influence fans' expectations. Liverpool supporters could see Araujo's loan turn permanent, while Ajax and Germany followers may track Ter Stegen's next step. The wider transfer market might read Barcelona's moves as a signal about its financial priorities, though the actual social impact remains limited and speculative.
