Bartomeu list 7 of Barcelona untouchable players with Messi on top

Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Semedo, De Jong, Griezmann, Dembele, Fati while the door hasn't shut for Coutinho's return just yet, as per the president.

"Messi is untouchable and non-transferable. He knows it, we all know it. But there are various non-transferable players like Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Semedo, De Jong, Griezmann, Dembele... players we are counting on in the future," Josep Maria Bartomeu told Barca TV when assessing the club's future.

The president kept including more names to the list as he said on Ansu Fati: "We received offers for our players, Ansu Fati, for example. Many clubs love him, but we don't want to sell him. He knows it."

Finally, Bartomeu even hinted Philippe Coutinho could be on this list, saying: "Coutinho's return will be the decision of the technical secretary and the coach but if they consider that he has to stay, he will stay."

In the same interview, the president announced that it is time to say goodbye to some of the veteran stars, claiming 'they are done here'.
