FC Barcelona is set for a mass exodus of some of its biggest ever stars this summer, including Lionel Messi.
Following the club's 8-2 defeat the Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu named only eight players who he intended to keep at the Camp Nou next term: Messi, Marc Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet, Nelson Semedo, Frenkie De Jong, Antoine Griezmann, Ousmane Dembele, and Ansu Fati.
Shortly after Bartomeu's announcement, the club appointed Ronald Koeman as its new manager, who, within a matter of days, reaffirmed that the club was ready to wave goodbye to its old guard to make way for a new generation of players.
Both Bartomeu and Koeman excluded Messi from their planned cull, however the Argentine then took matters into his own hands, handing in a transfer request on Tuesday.
Below, Insider has taken a look at where those will been told (or in Messi's case, chosen) to leave Catalonia could end up next season.
