Barcelona president Joan Laporta has insisted that the club do not need to sell any of their stars despite their financial issues.
The Catalan club have endured financial problems in recent years but Laporta stated that Barcelona won't be forced to sell players such as Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Gavi.
Laporta also revealed that Barcelona have turned down a bid of around €200milliion (£172million) for 16-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
Laporta told Mundo Deportivo: 'We don't want to sell any big player. If all goes to plan with our goals, we won't be forced to sell any player.
'Of course is someone wants to leave, we won't stop them; but I'm not worried at all with that, we want to keep same squad.'
Commenting on approaches for Yamal, Laporta said:'We're receiving crazy bids for players like Lamine Yamal around €200m and we're rejecting, of course'.
'We trust Lamine and we don't need to sell'.
Laporta added that the likes of Alejandro Balde, Fermin Lopez and Ronald Araujo have all attracted interest from elsewhere.
He said: 'We received bids for Balde, Fermin, Pedri, De Jong, Araujo, Gavi… we don't want to sell our stars'.
Despite being just 16 years old, Yamal has made 39 appearances for Barcelona across all competitions so far this season and has scored six goals, while he has provided seven assists.
Midfielder de Jong has often been linked with a move away from Barcelona, with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Chelsea amongst the clubs that are reportedly targeting him.
Barcelona have lacked consistency this season and are in second place in LaLiga, eight points adrift of leaders Real Madrid.
Although Laporta doesn't foresee any significant departures this summer in terms of playing staff, a new manager will have to be appointed following Xavi's decision to leave the club at the end of the campaign.

Laporta loves to brag about big sums of money, cash from selling assets, players, future revenue, in meantime Barca just has huge debt

Right now FC Barcelona literally have what the market wants, Good goalkeepers Good and young defenders (Future) Good and young midfielders (Future) Good and young strikers (Future) All these mixed with veterans full of experience. Forca Barca, Visca Barca
If Barca gets a good coach like Klopp with these youngsters it will be unbeatable

No matter the price we don't want to sell. you have heard 🙉 that the €200million for Lamin was not taken, not because wasn't enough but because we value our players, and are important and too are the Stars for the club 🤷

He's just bluffing, who will pay 200M for a 16 year old. Remember Fati the next Messi🙃🙃🙃where is he now? I'm not saying that there's no talent but stop comparing and overrating players and go back and read#if all goes to plan with our goals, we won't be forced to sell any player☝️.

So at central defence we have Araujo, Christensen, Kounde, Inigo Martinez, Cubrasi, Faye, Eric Garcia, Lenglet 😐 Eric and Lenglet will be sold for sure but we need to sell one or two more to get much important Cancelo. We cannot have all the players in the world.
laporta said we want to keep important players from this team for next season and we will sign 2 -3 not expensive players like Haaland . yet players that are at level of yamal, felix, raphina, ferran .
