Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have all been linked with several of these players in various recent reports, with some top class talent set to be made available if rumours are to be believed.

The Catalan giants have made a number of changes to their squad in recent times, with new manager Luis Enrique clearing out big names such as Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez this summer, with the pair moving to Chelsea and Arsenal, respectively.

Enrique may be keen to continue making changes to his squad at the Nou Camp, and the Spaniard is not afraid to bid farewell to some fairly big names in his quest to put his own stamp on the team inherited from Gerard Martino.

See below for the five players who could be set to be sold by Barca and head to the Premier League:

1) Pedro

Linked with Liverpool and Arsenal, Pedro could make way this January after falling out of favour under Enrique this season, despite being such a big player for the club in recent years.

2) Gerard Pique

A former Manchester United player, Gerard Pique’s slight dip in form has seen him linked with a return to Old Trafford as Louis van Gaal eyes the experienced Spaniard to improve his options in defence.

3) Jordi Alba

Recently linked with Arsenal and Manchester United, Spanish left-back Jordi Alba could also be shown the door by Barcelona this winter as Enrique ponders strengthening in that position.

4) Dani Alves

Linked with Manchester United and Manchester City, Dani Alves looks likely to leave Barcelona next summer when his contract expires, with the Brazilian international free to negotiate with other clubs from January onwards, with the Premier League his preferred next destination.

5) Adriano

Linked several times with Liverpool, there is also speculation that versatile Brazilian full-back Adriano could be another player on his way out of the Nou Camp in the near future after failing to nail down a regular place in Enrique’s side.
