What is a 'clear-out'?
A 'clear-out' in football refers to a period where a club sells or releases a significant number of players, often to make room for new talent, reduce wage bills, or restructure the squad. Barcelona's potential sale of five players, including both established stars and younger talents, suggests they are aiming for a substantial refresh of their team ahead of the new season.
