With Jordi Alba confirmed to be departing at the end of the season, FC Barcelona are reportedly set to continue a massive clearout, with as many as 10 more players expected to leave the club.
Alba and co-captain Sergio Busquets are confirmed outgoings at Barca as the the 2022/23 LaLiga champions continue a necessary overhaul of their squad, with the club reportedly prepared to let go of the likes of Ferran, Ansu Fati, and Franck Kessie too.

It is understood the decision to part ways with another 10 players is not entirely due to sporting reasons but also as a result of the club's precarious financial position.
LaLiga confirmed earlier this year that the Blaugrana need to balance their books before they can make any new signings ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
As such, the Catalans are said to have devised a solution to sell some of their players and reduce the wages of those who remain in the squad next season.
According to Diario Sport, six players who are currently out of loan have been included in Barcelona's 10-man list of potential exits, including Clement Lenglet, Nico Gonzalez, and Samuel Umtiti, with there looking to be no way back into the Blaugrana squad for them.
Here are the 10 players Barcelona are reportedly ready to get rid of in the next window:
Young Moroccan sensation Abde Ezzalzouli has spent the current campaign on the books of Osasuna, and he may once again be sent out on loan for another term, with various reports suggesting there is still hope for him under Xavi Hernandez.
Fati, Kessie, and Torres would command sizeable fees from any potential suitor, and the club is believed to be banking on their profitable sales in order to make space for Lionel Messi's proposed return to the Camp Nou.
This is despite the fact that all three have played crucial roles for the LaLiga title-winning side this season, with each of them having played no less than 42 games so far in this campaign.
The club is also understood to be looking to offload Alex Collado, Pablo Torre and Sergino Dest, with the trio having failed to impress this season, especially the latter during his loan spell with AC Milan.
