VERY TENSE RELATIONSHIP
Barça, forced to 'please' Frenkie de Jong
Although now from FC Barcelona they see him as an untouchable player, Frenkie de Jong does not forget all the damage they did to him during the last summer transfer window
In the FC Barcelona have left clear that Frenkie of Jong is a player intocable and one of the key pieces for the future to average and long term of the team. They see him like one of the leaders of the centre of the field, especially with the more than possible exit of Sergio Busquets in next summer. The Dutch could be his relief 'natural'.
However, it is not a secret for anybody that the history no always has been like this and remained evidenciada in the market of signings veraniego, when Frenkie of Jong was in the vitrina of sales. Joan Laporta declared does some days, that was not the case. In concrete, signalled that "I never have wanted to sell to Frenkie of Jong. It is one of the mainstays of the team. For me already it is one of the leaders of the project. Have a lot of confidence in players like him".
The tulip has not thought the same because it thinks that from the club pushed him to go out during the summer. So much so, to day of today, the relation with the managerial is very taut and from the Barça will be forced to 'patch' what has happened, because Frenkie has commissioned to say, publicly, how has felt betrayed.
During the stop of selections, aimed that "andor was calm. I decided, in May, that wanted to remain me. But afterwards you know that the pressure would begin to arrive... Yes, of the newspapers, of the president... Of all sides presionaron so that it went me, in fact. But I wanted to remain me in the Barça, so never it baffled me", in Ziggo Sports, but even also arrived to insinuate that from the club had filtered his agreement.
"A newspaper published things of my agreement. I did not filter it and only there was another part that also had the agreement. Then this had to come of the club and think: it is not necessary. It irritated me that it did it the club". Before the World-wide, from the club of the City Condal tried limar asperezas and 'recognised' that Frenkie is an important part of the project, but now have to take a step forward and show it.
The good news for the Barça
In any case, if something has in favour the Barcelona picture is that Frenkie of Jonhg wants to remain in the Spotify Camp Nou and triumph in the club of his dreams, as it has defined it in more than an opportunity. It is conscious that teams like the Manchester United will do all the possible so that it go out, but his wish has been -at all times- fulfil his agreement.
