Barça's great dilemma! Break with everything by selling Araújo and De Jong or bet on continuity

The FC Barcelona is in front of a market of signings of decisive summer for his future. The Barcelona go to remain this season in 'white', after losing his options to win LaLiga with the defeat in the Classical and to remain without the dream of the Champions League when falling with Paris Saint-Germain does a pair of weeks in Montjuïc. It has not been a good campaign of the culés, but the club wants to give him the turn to the situation so that the course that comes do not seem in at all to east.

The first important decision that has taken Joan Laporta like president of the Barça is to confirm that Xavi Hernández will go on down the less until 2025. The trainer, that announced does some months that left to final of season, has changed of opinion and from the entity have not doubted in having he, since they consider that in Europe there is not any technician that fit better with the style and the project of the Catalan picture.

The Barça can not fail with veto them and signings in this market

Now, the FC Barcelona has to begin to take decisions related with the sportive planning of the next campaign. It is necessary to hit with the sales and with the signings to be able to be better that this year and can raise some title. In this sense, the club depends on that LaLiga approve his return to the rule of the 1/1 to be able to fichar with normality, something that still is not clear. In case that it was not possible, to reinforce the barcelonistas will have to go back to do malabares with some powerful sale and reinforcements more 'low cost' of what would like.

In front of this uncertainty of market, Laporta, Deco and Xavi could have to pose something that up to now all have denied. In all his interventions, the three have left clear that the idea is to give him continuity to this project and not doing important sales, as they can be the ones of Ronald Araújo and Frenkie of Jong, that are the footballers on which more speaks like hypothetical exits. The two have signed until 2026, by what have to renew along the course that comes not to go in in his last year of agreement, as already sucedió with Ousmane Dembélé, that finish taking advantage of of this to leave by the clause that signed when it expanded his links to last hour.

The charrúa could leave in the arks of the Barça more than 80 million euros, whereas by the Dutch could arrive more than 70. In both cases, when being already more than amortised his traspasos, especially the one of the central, that arrived to price of balance, all the income would be profits, something to have very in account. Therefore, although in the entity do not want to recognise it, there is a serious dilemma around these two players, since his traspasos could allow fichar to several 'cracks', and 'break' partly with the current project leaving go to two of his big stars.

The sales of Araújo and Frenkie could cost three signings 'top'

For putting an example, with the rule of the 1/1, only with the roughly 150 millions obtained by Of Jong and Ronald, practically could arrive Bernardo Silva, that has a clause of exit for this summer and that it wants to play in the Barcelona (60); Joshua Kimmich, that finish agreement in 2025, seems that it wants to go out and that it could cost enough less than his value of market by this contractual situation (40-50); and finally an extreme like Leroy Sané, that the same that his mate in the Bayern finish agreement in a year and could go out to very good price (40-50). They would be three world-wide stars with experience, quality, win to show and that by style and position could be even more necessary that Frenkie and Araújo.

In case that there is not Fair Play sufficient to be able to arrive to the rule of the 1/1, the exits of the Dutch and the Uruguayan could 'pay' perhaps to two of the three 'cracks' mentioned. The saving in the wage of Of Jong, that is of the more heights of the plantel, also would be taken into account to do numbers, by what would help in the reinforcements that look for . With this situation, Kimmich seems that it would be the fixed, since fichar to a mediocentro is the big priority in the summer, and would have to choose between Bernardo and Sané. If only it went out one between Frenkie and Ronald surely only could arrive the German pivote, and if it did not go out any hardly could land in the City Condal the one of the Bayern.

With all this explained, has to be the Barça the one who decide what walk to take. One is the one of the continuismo, trusting that Araújo leave backwards the doubts that has left these last months and was the decisive defender that went for example the past course; and that Frenkie of the step at the front that still it expects of him, since talent and conditions has to spare. The another way is 'break' with everything, sell to both footballers, that are indisputable headlines, and trust that the signings that arrive by them can give him to the team the jump of quality that needs to be able to win it all again. What would have to decide Laporta?
