The next transfer window could be a busy one for the Spanish giants, with several first-team players strongly tipped to leave the club.
Among them, much to the fan base's dismay, could be Messi, whose current contract with the Blaugrana expires in June. The 33-year-old has not yet recommitted himself to his boyhood club amid speculation linking him with moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
The six-time Ballon d'Or winner tried to leave Barcelona at the start of the season, but was ultimately not granted that wish by former president Josep Maria Bartomeu.
Despite a rocky first few months of the campaign, Messi is among the leading goalscorers across European's top five leagues this season, having found the back of the net on 29 occasions across all competitions.
Brazilian playmaker Philippe Coutinho, whose season has been disrupted by injuries, could be sold by the club as they look to raise funds, and the same can be said of Bosnia and Herzegovina international Miralem Pjanic.
The former Juventus midfielder has not played a big role for the Spanish giants under Ronald Koeman, and has often expressed his frustration about this. He could therefore be one of those shipped out in the next window, although he still has three years left on his contract with the Blaugrana.

French defender Samuel Umtiti is also reportedly deemed surplus to requirements, as is Denmark international Martin Braithwaite.
