Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona have set their sights on Jerdy Schouten as a possible reinforcement for the pivot. The position has been greatly weakened since Marc Bernal's injury against Rayo Vallecano, so the Blaugrana club is beginning to follow the trail of the Dutchman from PSV Eindhoven, who at 27 years old has aroused the interest of several teams on the continent due to his versatility on the field of play, being able to play as a holding midfielder, a central midfielder and even a centre-back.

For this reason, depending on the urgency with which the team led by Hansi Flick arrives at the winter market, the international with the Netherlands national team could be an option to strengthen the midfield. However, his operation would not be too cheap, since in order to get rid of his contract, the farmers would be demanding a figure that would be around 30 to 35 million euros.

Schouten's contract with the red-and-white team expires in June 2028, and he is characterized by being a great player, a recuperator and with good technique, in addition to his physical power (he is 1.85m tall). Since his return to the Eredivisie in the summer of 2023 from Bologna, the midfielder has managed to 'shoot up' his market value, which is located at 28 million, according to 'Transfermarkt'.

The 1/1 rule, the key for Barça to assume his signing

If Can Barça comply with what was expected and reach the winter market already entered into the 1/1 rule, Jerdy's name will begin to resonate in the corridors of the Spotify Camp Nou if the team considers it necessary. However, with the recovery of Gavi and Frenkie de Jong, in addition to the presence of Casadó, Pedri, Pablo Torre and Fermín, the midfield would seem to be covered, although Flick will evaluate the performance of the aforementioned players before making a final decision.
