With Spanish giants Barcelona having spent €153 million (R2.5 billion) in this transfer window, here are the 11 players who have left the Catalan giants for the 2022/23 season so far.
It has been an incredibly unique window for the Blaugrana, whose president Joan Laporta has successfully landed five new signings in the form of Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, Raphinha, Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen.
The club's spending amid a widely documented financial crisis has led to scathing criticism from around the world, with Kounde still unable to be registered due to LaLiga's new economic restrictions.
Players have been shifted out, however, by Laporta and head coach Xavi Hernandez has made space in his squad for the club's new acquisitions by letting 10 stars leave for the 2022/23 campaign.
Barcelona have sold Brazil international Philippe Coutinho to Aston Villa in a permanent deal, while six more players have been let go on free transfers as a means of clearing space on the club's previously enormous wage bill.
Riqui Puig, Dani Alves, Oscar Mingueza and Neto are among those who have departed without transfer fees being brought in, while yet another La Masia graduate was moved on in a temporary deal for this season on the weekend.
According to Transfermarkt, just €23 million (R383 million) has been made in player exits by Barca in this window, leaving Xavi under remarkable pressure to bring in prize money by the end of the campaign.
