Barcelona have entered a decisive stretch of the summer, with 30 June now acting as a major deadline for both sporting and financial reasons.
According to MARCA, the club need to close several operations before the end of the month because any completed deals can still count towards this season’s accounts, while some negotiations could become more expensive from 1 July.
The first priority is the exit market. Barça need income, salary relief and squad clarity before Hansi Flick’s pre-season work begins.
Inaki Pena, Ansu Fati, Marc Casado, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Roony Bardghji are all names linked with possible departures.
Inaki Pena exit looks closePena’s case appears to be the most advanced. The goalkeeper is close to joining Panathinaikos, with the fee expected to be around €3 million and the player keen to resolve his future quickly.
That would not be a huge transfer fee, but it would still help. More importantly, it would reduce the goalkeeping congestion and remove a player who does not appear to have a clear role in Flick’s plans.

Ansu Fati’s move to Monaco is another key operation. The French club are ready to activate an €11 million option, but Barça are still negotiating future control, including a sell-on percentage and a possible buy-back clause.
Casado is also studying his options, while Roony is expected to leave on loan to continue his development.
Ter Stegen remains the most complicated case because of his contract, salary and uncertain market.
Salinas deal matters before JulyOn the incoming side, Jorge Salinas is the name Barcelona want to close quickly. The club consider the Racing Santander defender a strategic signing, but timing is everything.
Until 30 June, the operation could be done for a figure between €4 million and €8 million. From 1 July, his clause will rise to €16 million, which would make the deal much harder to justify.

This is exactly the kind of move Barcelona must get right. Salinas is young, talented and wanted by other clubs, but the Catalans cannot afford to let a manageable deal become expensive through delay.
Cancelo is a separate but important case. The deal for the Portuguese ace remains complicated because of the financial demands around the operation.
Al Hilal seem to have no intention of making life easy for Barcelona, and it will be quite a surprise if this deal comes close to completion by the end of this month.
This final-week sprint in June is about more than just paperwork for the Catalan club. It is about giving Flick a cleaner squad, creating room for registrations and avoiding avoidable market mistakes.
The club know what needs doing. Now they have to finish the work before the clock runs out.

Sporting his Mexico team jersey, soccer fan Alan Romero got up at 4 am on Sunday to drive from Tijuana to Los Angeles, just so he could cheer for Iran in its World Cup match against Belgium.
The 35-year-old is one of hundreds of Mexican supporters who went to SoFi Stadium to watch a match that, on first glance, had nothing to do with them.
Yet, the crowd leapt with joy when Iran's Team Melli nearly scored against Belgium's Red Devils, before the referee disallowed the goal for being offside -- earning a chorus of whistles.
"Our second team for this World Cup is Iran," Romero told AFP, taking pride in Tijuana managing to host the Iranian team at the last minute, after a series of off-field issues kept them from their US-based training camp.
With the United States' and Israel's war against Iran as a backdrop, the Persian squad has voiced complaints of unfair treatment over US visas, travel times and equity with other teams.
Iran's team moved its base camp from Tucson, Arizona to Tijuana after a dozen of its staff members had their US visas denied.
The tensions have created an unexpected solidarity between Mexicans and Iranians -- a football friendship already evident during Iran's first match against New Zealand, also held in Los Angeles.
- Unbelievable support -
In Los Angeles, a city steeped in Mexican culture, a large portion of the crowd cheered for Iran during their match.
The support was so noticeable that Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi offered his thanks to Mexican fans.
"We're looking forward to the next two matches, we hope they'll keep supporting us this way," he said after the game.
"The support from the Mexican fans has been unbelievable," said Iranian American YouTuber Art Eftekhari, who has a channel devoted to the Iranian national team.
The 44-year-old said their support helps make up for all the controversies surrounding Team Melli.
Beyond the way the United States has treated the team, the welcome from Los Angeles's large Iranian diaspora community has been mixed: many in the stadium cheered the players, but booed the Iranian anthem in protest of the Islamic Republic.
"I try not to pay attention to that, I'm just focusing on the match," Eftekhari said. "The warm welcome of Mexican fans makes us forget about what's happening off the pitch."
For Latino plans, it's the setbacks and discord that motivates them to raise their voices for Iran's players.
"I think that they're being treated unfairly," said Nikkole Martinez, a 24-year-old fan of Mexican descent who lives in the Los Angeles area.
"At the end of the day, they're just young men trying to play the sport they love, it has nothing to do with their government. They should be treated fairly and equally, as much as everybody else."
- 'Outsider' -
The Iranian squad voiced protest this week because the Belgian team was allowed to enter Los Angeles on Friday, but Iran wasn't allowed to travel into the US until Saturday.
"For this game, they're at a disadvantage. They absolutely don't deserve that," Martinez said, adding that she likes to root for underdogs.
Another fan who traveled from Tijuana, 25-year-old Jaen Pina, agreed that Iran's treatment was unfair.
"The Belgian players are well-rested, while the Iranian team is not, so that's a big disadvantage," Pina said.
Pina admits he does not know any Iranian players, but he knows the team faces big Belgian stars and he supports Team Melli on principle, because of the visa and travel issues they have faced.
"That's why I'm with them, because this World Cup has become political," Pina said.

It’s been a week since Brendan Sorsby announced he was turning pro, and it raised a lot of eyebrows, mainly because it happened so quickly.
Just two weeks ago, Sorsby had won his injunction against the NCAA, which would have allowed him to play this season for Texas Tech; however, the Big 12 decided to take the Red Raiders to court over the whole ordeal.
That might have scared not only Texas Tech but also Sorsby, who decided right after that to turn pro, but, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Sorsby was forced out.
He thinks part of the reason he was forced out of college was the fear that the courts or the Big 12 might eventually pull the rug from under Sorsby during the season.
There are also people around the NFL, according to Florio, who fear the same thing happening.
“There are people around the league who already are concerned that he may not be allowed to play at all in 2026 under the same reasoning that the NCAA applied…” Florio said. “…he has violated no NFL pen uh policies. He’s done nothing wrong as far as the NFL is concerned.”
That might explain why Sorsby decided to turn pro so soon rather than stick it out in college.

Dusty May was a first-year assistant at Louisiana Tech, still a decade away from hitting it big, when Gordon Hayward's half-court shot came within a breath of delivering Butler the national championship in 2010.
When it hit the front of the iron and bounced away, triggering a rain of confetti on Duke, May could have been like any young coach.
For all the admiration over what Brad Stevens had done to get a mid-major Cinderella to the brink of winning it all, Mike Krzyzewski was the standard for what a great college basketball career should look like. From the longevity at one school, to the power he amassed in the sport to the Olympic gold medals and the respect he had gained even in the NBA, they all wanted to grow up to be Coach K.
But as we fast-forward 16 years, the younger Gen X and elder Millennial-age coaches taking over the sport have seen a shift in what they once perceived the peak of their profession to be. In an era where it's no longer possible to be the next Coach K, being the next Brad Stevens seems both more fulfilling and attainable.
May's departure from Michigan on Monday to become the Dallas Mavericks' head coach has echoes of the announcement that came out of the blue on July 3, 2013, when Stevens left Butler to become head coach of the Boston Celtics.
On the surface, it seemed like a huge gamble. Stevens was 36, never spent a day working in the NBA and had never even coached anywhere but Butler.
But it also made perfect sense. Not only had Stevens done the impossible by taking Butler to consecutive national title games, he had displayed levels of intelligence in the way he coached, talked about the game and related to people that suggested a depth and curiosity that had a real chance to resonate at the next level.
When May first emerged at Florida Atlantic in 2023, taking a true nowhere program to the Final Four, the Stevens-like vibes were unmistakeable. It wasn't just that they were both Indiana natives taking mid-major programs to places they'd never been before. As the nation got to know May during that run, the cerebral, understated and adaptable approach he brought to the sideline kindled a lot of memories from 2011.
May didn't just become the hottest coach in college basketball, he looked like a guy who was ultimately going to catch the attention of NBA front offices.
May also emulated Stevens in another way: He didn't rush to cash in on his sudden success. Though he did leave Florida Atlantic for Michigan, he stayed one more year after the Final Four and was very careful about where his next stop was going to be.
So it's no surprise we ended up here, with new Dallas front office led by Masai Ujiri and Mike Schmitz looking at May's body of work and seeing a guy with the potential to thrive in a league where coaching is just very different than in college.
That's why Krzyzewski never left Duke for the NBA despite multiple opportunities to make the leap. In college, in his era, the power and the Coach K mystique he accumulated mattered. In the NBA, he was just going to be one of 30 whose success would be at the mercy of a bad run of draft picks or a superstar player souring on his style.
But May understands, like all of his contemporaries, that dynasties aren't going to exist in college basketball the same way they used to.
Yes, May just won a national championship and is good enough to win more. But in this era of college basketball, gaining that status as a coach doesn't mean what it used to.
Every year it's a new team, a new fight to outbid your rivals for talent, a new gamble on whether you've spent your money on the right people.
Winning national titles doesn't buy you much credibility anymore with prospects or agents who approach recruiting as business deals. There won't be any more Coach Ks landing five-stars by flashing rings or getting Grant Hill to make a phone call.
That's not necessarily why May left. If anyone has proven that they could adapt and thrive under the ever-changing conditions of college sports these days, it's the guy who made it work at Florida Atlantic and then did it even bigger and better when he had power conference resources.
This is more a case of a coach climbing the mountaintop slowly and then very quickly. And after he checked off the biggest box in college basketball, he was intrigued by another challenge — one that Stevens conquered both as coach and then as a Celtics' president of basketball operations who put together an NBA champion.
Though everyone knew Stevens was destined for big things that heartbreaking night in 2010, nobody could have envisioned the exact path his basketball career would take.
But in so many ways he's now model for the best and brightest the college game has to offer.
After May's success at FAU and Michigan, he could have chosen practically any destiny for the next decade of his basketball life. And even though he'd have been as likely as anyone to be the face of college basketball in this era, it's unsurprising given his personality, curiosity and adaptability that he's taking the same route as Stevens.
And it shouldn't shock anyone if he's just as big of a success.
Miami (40-38) completed a three-game series sweep against San Francisco (31-46) on Sunday. The Marlins won Game 3, 2-1, at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.
Former Vol Drew Gilbert extended his on-base streak to seven games on Sunday. He started in center field for the Giants and went 1-for-3, hitting a single to right field in the fifth inning.

The Giants will not play on Monday and are scheduled to open a three-game series versus the Athletics on Tuesday at Oracle Park.
Gilbert played at Tennessee from 2020-22 and appeared in 141 games, including 134 starts, as a batter. He also appeared in 11 contests as a relief pitcher and had a 2-0 record. Gilbert recorded a .314 batting average, 22 home runs, 140 RBIs and 116 runs with the Vols.

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Area football stars and coaches helped lead the North Bears to a 34-7 romp of the South Cardinals in the North-South Football Classic on Saturday at South Charleston High School.
Keyser’s Grayson Lambka and Owen Rotruck were defensive standouts, and head coach Derek Stephen was given credit in stifling South’s offense by head coach Nick Mayle of Philip Barbour.
“Our defense was playing lights out, and that’s a testament to coach Stephen from Keyser and coach (Terry) Rea from Washington,” he said to WVMetroNews after the game. “They got the guys ready and schematically had them in the right positions, and then the guys just did their thing and balled out.”
Other area participants included East Hardy wide receiver/defensive back Levi Price, and Hampshire WR/DB Andrew Loy and QB/DB Landon Eversole.
Eversole kneeled the game out in victory formation to secure the win.
Hampshire head coach Donny Evans was also an assistant on the North staff, along with Toby Poling of Philip Barbour.
Loy was the recipient of the North National Football Foundation Scholarship, and Eversole was given a West Virginia Schools Athletic Coaches Association honor.
South was coached by Herbert Hoover’s Joey Field and assisted by Zach Belcher (Chapmanville), Justin Cogar (Herbert Hoover), Mikey Hughes (Sissonville) and David Jones (Mingo Central).
SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Recent Frankfort graduate Jeremy Phillips was his team's Most Valuable Player in the 37th North-South Boys Basketball Classic at the South Charleston Community Center on Friday.

Spring Valley's Harrison Riggs tallied 23 points to win South MVP and lead his squad to a 126-81 win, South's 30th victory in 37 games.
Phillips was a two-time All-Area first-teamer and Potomac Valley Conference Player of the Year, Frankfort’s all-time leading scorer (1,448) and a Class AA All-State first-team performer
In the girls all-star game, South defeated North, 80-78. Hampshire's Della Knight scored 12 points for North.
A trio of Keyser juniors were named to the Class AAA All-State first team by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association.
Bibs Felton, a shortstop, was selected as an infielder after batting .626 with 12 home runs, six triples, 12 doubles, 38 runs batted in and 44 runs scored.
Catcher Brielle Root made the cut following a .458 campaign adding four homers, four three-baggers, nine two-baggers, 34 runs batted in and 23 runs.
They’re joined by the Golden Tornado ace, Leighton Johnson, who went 19-7 in the circle with a 1.96 ERA with 208 strikeouts in 139 1/3 innings pitched.
Keyser’s Tavery Lyons was an honorable mention.
