This summer, FC Barcelona wants to change almost everything. Eight recruits are hoped for by Xavi this summer announcement Sports world this Thursday. But before buying, the Camp Nou residents will have to sell this summer, as the Blaugrana technician reminded us earlier this week. “The scenario is easy, it depends on the money. We’re going to do one thing or another. It’s obvious, but that’s how it is. The situation is tough, but right now it’s our reality.”. To replenish its coffers, Barça intends to part with several undesirables such as Umtiti, Lenglet, Pjanic or even Coutinho, who is about to stay permanently at Aston Villa.
At the same time, the Catalan leaders also want to offload elements with high market value. If the fate of Memphis Depay is not yet sealed, that of his compatriot Frenkie de Jong is. For several weeks now, the Iberian press has ensured that the Dutchman will be sacrificed by the Culés. In public, Xavi has always denied this information. “I don’t see many players with his conditions at world level. He has to prove it. It is very important for the present and the future”. But behind the scenes, Barça is pushing the 25-year-old midfielder well towards the exit. It is believed that despite his talent, he is not the long-awaited leader.
The case is practically complete with MU
Under contract until 2025, the former Ajax Amsterdam, frustrated by his season, was not necessarily going to leave. But the Barcelonans seem determined to make him leave, they who have set his price at 70 M€. Put on the market, De Jong is likely to bring in big money since many clubs have already positioned themselves to recruit him. Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus Turin, Manchester United and Manchester City, who are thinking of a swap deal with Bernardo Silva, are all ready to bet on the Dutchman. And one of these prestigious candidates has obviously doubled the competition and would have practically closed the deal.
Gerard Romero, a well-informed Barca journalist, announces that Frenkie de Jong is going to move to Manchester United this summer. The file will even be closed at the end of the month assures the journalist who specifies that this operation will be done at 95%. He even adds that the Red Devils will put between 70 and 80 million euros on the table to afford the midfielder. Information relayed and confirmed by the Chain BE which indicates that Barca will listen to offers for De Jong and his teammate Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The transfer window has already started with the Culés!
