Barcelona management are ready to sell Sergi Busquets and replace him with a younger version.

Barca president Joan Laporta has approved the the midfielder's sale this summer, despite him being a first-choice for coach Ronald Koeman.

Mundo Deportivo says there are three young players on Barça's shortlist as they consider a direct replacement.

Eduardo Camavinga (18, Rennes), Manuel Locatelli (23, Sassuolo) and Mikel Merino (24, Real Sociedad).

Busquets is still tied to his formative club until 2023.
