Barcelona released their squad for the preseason tour of America on Saturday, with manager Xavi Hernandez leaving out several players.
Frenkie de Jong, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, has been included.
Summer arrivals Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen are also on the plane, along with youngsters Pablo Torre, Arnau Tenas, Alejandro Balde, and Marc Casado.
Neto, Samuel Umtiti, Riqui Puig, Martin Braithwaite and Oscar Mingueza will not make the trip, as they are not in Xavi’s plans.
Mateu Alemany, Barca’s sporting director, said yesterday at Raphinha’s unveiling that those players left behind will have to look for new clubs and Barca will be hoping they can start to offload a few more players now.
Barcelona’s first game of the trip is against Inter Miami on Tuesday, July 19 at the DRV PNK Stadium.
