Barca open the exit door to a Turkish pearl with a 400 million clause

Barca are still trying to balance their books. The 'Cules' are not only looking at the first team, but also at the reserve team. In fact, there is a Barca Atletic player who has been told to look for a new destination.

The player involved is the Turkish Emre Demir, who joined the 'Cules' 16 months ago from Kayserispor. The club paid two million, sealed his contract until 2027 and set a clause of 400 million.

The Ottoman pearl was showing promise, but the Catalan giants have opened the door for him to leave, as reported by 'MD'. The aforementioned source points out that this is due to both sporting reasons -Rafa Marquez does not count on him- and economic reasons -he has a high salary.

Ahmet Bulut, his agent, has not said anything on the matter and it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved. The Catalan newspaper indicates that the options the club is considering are both a loan and a transfer.

So far this season, Emre Demir, who plays as an attacker, has barely played 25 minutes for Barca Atletic. Even Marquez admitted that he has not adapted well because of the language and that the youngster was studying Spanish: "It has been complicated. He doesn't speak Spanish, he understands very little English and that makes the adaptation process even slower".
