Friday's catastrophic Champions League exit has thrown Barcelona under all manner of scrutiny with the average age of their squad a particular concern which the club now hope to eradicate

Barcelona have reportedly put their entire squad up for sale apart from just four players who have dodged the axe.

Recovery from the 8-2 hammering at the hands of Bayern Munich has already begun for the Spanish club, after the defeat supported suggestions many of the squad are past their peak.

Defender Gerard Pique said after the defeat: "This club needs changes, and I don't mean the manager, or any specific players. I don't want to single anyone out. It needs changes.

"This is the bottom. We have hit rock bottom."

Pique even offered to walk away from the club himself if that was felt necessary, and he is one of the players on the chopping block according to a report from Sport.

The Spanish publication claims that Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu is planning a mass clearout at the Nou Camp this summer.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet, Frenkie de Jong and Lionel Messi have all been pardoned.
