Barcelona will play RCD Mallorca on Sunday in their final home match of the 2022–23 campaign. As the final game to be played at Spotify Camp Nou as we currently know it, it will be a sentimental occasion for both the players and the fans.
Barça will relocate to the Montjuic Olympic Stadium until November 2024 and will want to say goodbye to Camp Nou on a high note because stadium reconstruction is about to start.
Barcelona will also say goodbye to two of its current captains and club greats, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, on Sunday.
The former had already informed the club of his intention to leave when his contract expires this summer. And earlier today, it was revealed that Alba will do the same, despite the fact that he still has one year left on his current Barça contract.
Gerard Romero claims, however, that in addition to Alba and Busquets, Barcelona may also say goodbye to another player on Sunday.
The journalist hasn’t identified the player, but he makes a suggestion that the newly crowned La Liga champions are thinking about cutting ties with another star, who might be revealed on Sunday.
Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres’ names have been closely associated with summer departures, while Jules Kounde’s future has recently drawn a lot of attention. Another player whose future at the team is far from certain is Franck Kessie.
This season, Barcelona already said goodbye to Gerard Pique, and they will soon say goodbye to two more club legends in Alba and Busquets. And if Romero is to be believed, Sunday might see the announcement of one more departure.
