The coffers of FC Barcelona do not allow the club to reinforce each line of the team as last summer, so it must choose very well where it makes its signings, something in which Frenkie de Jong could help define
From the past summer the FC Barcelona has been in search of the best option of market for his mediocentro. With Sergio Busquets finishing agreement at the end this season, and already was that it renew or no, Xavi and the Barcelona sportive direction have wanted to close to the that would be the reemplazante of the pivote that has had the team by the last 15 years.
The first captain of the Barça is arriving at the end of a successful career and already the previous course and the present has left evidences that by natural questions no longer can compete of the same way in parties of maximum requirement. The football has evolved to steps enlarged in the last decade and the physicist has become a point more than important, and in this fits perfectly a profile by which the Barça does not need to pay neither a euro in traspaso, neither expect a process of adaptation: Frenkie of Jong.
The Dutch, that had a foot and half in the ramp of exit during the 2022, has wanted to show that it can be a vital player for the club to the that arrived in 2019 and by which descartó some millionaire offers. The mediocampista, with past in the Ajax, has fulfilled a big season up to now being an interior with dynamics and good exit of balloon, in addition to fulfilling with the role of pivote when Busquets has not been available for Xavi.
It is an equal option of valid
The own technical egarense did not have very clear that Of Jong could be this profile that needed for his mediocentro, but to base of good game, regularity and youth, the international with Low Countries has raised definitively his hand to be the 'signing' of this summer. The Zubimendi, Gündogan or Amrabat are options more than valid to give a jump of quality, but if Busquets continued there would be need to find in this 2023 another player for a position in which Of Jong already has showed that it can be gentleman and master.
If Frenkie achieved a confidence resembled the one who Busi has with Xavi for this role, there is not any another reason by which the Dutch do not describe to play each party that can as the pivote title. With systems of three or four mediocampistas, Of Jong is the ideal name to exert the exit of balloon and the creation of game that the Barça needs for demanding and important parties like which play in the Champions or Europe League.
