Posted on December 17th, 2021 at 4.30pm by HG While FC Barcelona is plagued by serious financial concerns that block it in its recruitment, the hypothesis of sacrificing Frenkie de Jong clearly seems to be considered by the Catalan club. Eliminated as soon as possible the group stage of Champions League , eighth in the Liga standings, endowed with a squad with many shortcomings … The least that can be said is that FC Barcelona are facing a delicate period, arguably the most difficult in their recent history. Ideally, the Catalan club would go through the transfer market to recruit new players and thus rebuild their team to start a new virtuous cycle. Only here, to make matters worse, Barça is in the grip of big financial worries which have been accentuated by the passage of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, FC Barcelona had to resolve to see Leo Messi spinning freely at PSG last summer, while Antoine Griezmann returned on loan to Atlético de Madrid and the last summer recruiting focused on free players such as Memphis Depay or Eric Garcia . There is nevertheless a clarification, namely the fact that FC Barcelona can count on the outbreak of a beautiful generation of young people embodied by Pedri , Gavi , Ansu Fati or even Ronald Araujo . But that is far too little to allow the Blaugrana to regain their former glory. The Barça He therefore has no choice: to revive, he will have to recruit, despite his financial worries. And it is in this perspective that the Barcelona management could agree to make a big sacrifice, namely to part with Frenkie de Jong . This trend has been announced for a few days now and it is now supported by MARCA this Friday. According to Spanish media, the Dutch international arrived in summer 2019 from Ajax Amsterdam No longer considered an untouchable element by the Catalan board. In that sense, FC Barcelona would now be ready to consider a good offer next summer if a club steps into action with a tempting proposition. And several clubs would be ready to act in this direction according to the Spanish media, despite its performance below expectations for several months. Because this is one of the arguments of FC Barcelona to make this sacrifice. Frenkie de Jong certainly has a market, but it is less brilliant. Even more, the emergence of players such as Pedri , Nico and Gavi would lead Barça to consider that it is not necessarily curial to keep the Dutch. Obviously, FC Barcelona would see this as a good opportunity to rake in precious cash, especially as its market value has not really gone down. In addition, his departure would allow the residents of Camp Nou to make great savings in their payroll since the annual cost of Frenkie de Jong is around 30 M €, between the amortization of his transfer and his salary. In short, the situation is clear, the native of Gorinchem could well be living his last months as a player for FC Barcelona . It remains to be seen which club will come forward in a concrete way in the weeks and months to come to take advantage of this great opportunity. 
The sacrifice of Frenkie de Jong is clearly envisaged at FC Barcelona
