Premier League clubs will be offered a star-studded host of Barcelona players to buy or lend this summer, including World Cup winner Antoine Griezmann.
The Spanish giants are desperate to raise funds amid the coronavirus outbreak and are open to offers for a large number of players, with the exception of superstar Lionel Messi.
Griezmann’s availability will put several European giants on alert, including Manchester United, who tried to sign the 29-year-old before joining Barcelona last year from Atlético Madrid.
And England’s best clubs have been informed that eight other players are available to buy or recruit on loan this summer.

World Cup winner Samuel Umtiti is among the available defenders alongside Nelson Semedo and Sergi Roberto.
And, of course, Philippe Coutinho has been offered to a select group of clubs despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at the Camp Nou.
Coutinho, 27, is Barcelona’s record-breaking transfer but has struggled to establish himself with the Catalan club since joining from Liverpool for £ 142 million in January 2018.
He spent this season on loan at Bayern Munich, but the Bundesliga giants rejected the opportunity to buy the Brazilian player and his agent said last month that he “would love” to return to the Premier League.
Coutinho has been offered to Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Everton, according to the Daily Star, and will also offer it to Newcastle United if the Saudi acquisition of the club takes place.
However, his lucrative £ 12m per year contract is unlikely to be affordable for most clubs and it seems more likely that he will move a loan to Coutinho than a permanent transfer to the top English category.
