The sportive direction of the FC Barcelona still has not moved regarding signings refers , by what Hansi Flick will find this Wednesday with a group reduced of players of the first team and knowing besides that the situation seems that it will go more in direction of fichar to Nico Williams and little more. And it is that the plans of signings are supeditado to go in in the rule 1/1, a new stage that is not neither much less impossible, as it left clear the president Joan Laporta this Monday, but that yes needs all the possible help.
And one of these 'crowbars' was the possibility to do an or two important sales this summer, with several names on the table like possible alternative, each one by distinct reasons and importance. Two of them, and perhaps the main, beside Raphinha, are -or were- Ronald Araújo and Frenkie of Jong. Both players finish agreement in 2026 and both parts are not at all directed to sign a renewal, by what the best option seemed a sale this summer.
The Barça has found with two big problems
The case of the central was an ideal option because it is a player that already is amortised and the sale would suppose net gains, added to that there are a lot of head offices in the staff, and besides, has clubs interested as it is the case of Bayern of Munich or of the Manchester United. The Barça considered to take out some 90 millions by the sale of Araújo, but his more recent muscular, that will do him lose the start of the season with the Barça, has left it 'KO' also in the market.
The central sum a new problem of injury to a record that began to expand from 2021 and that each so much leaves him in the infirmary by several weeks, almost always. It remains clear that his injuries do not cancel him his talent and if some club wants to bet by him will do it, but hardly already will be this summer and by the quantity of money that pretended the Barça, an identical situation to which happens with Frenkie of Jong.
The future of Frenkie is not too ilusionante so that it finish going out
Like the Uruguayan, the midfield player is two years old more than agreement, what means that the culés will have his last big margin to negotiate this summer, understanding that if there is not renewal already the following year there would be offers to the drop. It is thus that the entity put it on the table like an option for ingresar some 60 or 70 million euros, but his second injury of ankle of the course was graver of the thought and right now does not have a leaf of clear route to go back to be to 100%.
It is not a secret for anybody that the Dutch has a high wage and that has a taut relation with the technical office because it knows that it has been offered in other markets, adding besides that big part of the fans and of the club thinks that his performance has not finish to explode to the level that expected . All this collaborated for a new 'serial' of summer, but without finishing well the season, without Eurocopa and without beginning well the pre-season, his market is practically non-existent from this time on and until the last day of the next month of August.
