The FC Barcelona begins to put the poster of "for sale" in its players, facing the winter market. Two sacred cows from the locker room aim to get out
It is not a secret for anybody that the FC Barcelona carries some time suffering and with a very move# away level to the team that in previous years was between the best of the world. The last confirmation that the Barcelona picture 'does not give' for more was the elimination of the Champions League in the phase of groups, something unexpected and that has left to all the changing room, but also to the staff technical and directors, signalled.
There is not 'saved' this time and the situation is unsustainable, without place to doubts. The Barça has to begin a definite reconstruction that allow to the team believe in a positive future, something that for the moment is difficult to see. For this, the exits in the winter, and later in the market of signings veraniego, are essential, remembering that the club crosses a delicate financial situation and that, besides, surpasses the limit salarial and each operation of signings governs by the rule '1 to 4'.
In this sense, from the offices of the Camp Nou begin -with more strength- to think in the future. They are varied the players that have the poster of "on sale", being the case of Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho or Luuk of Jong, footballers with which Xavi Hernández does not explain at all, but have added more: the case of Òscar Mingueza, that does not finish of 'convince' as lateral and that of head office does not have hollow. However, they are two names those that surprise: Marc-André ter Stegen and Frenkie of Jong.
The German and Dutch are two of the 'holy cows' of the team and of the intocables for the Barça in the last years, especially with the guardameta. However, the level of both is very move# away of the needs of the team. So much Ter Stegen as Of Jong have happened to be determinants to turn into a 'nuisance', in some moments, for the culés. Against the Bayern of Munich, went the best proof of this.
It is true that the Bavarian picture is 'invincible' for the majority of the rivals, but the image that left the Barça was the one of a team that can not compete. And there it is the big problem and the imperial need to renew . It is a process that will carry too time, but that there is begin it. The moment, however, is not positive for the Barça, because the sale of players in the wintry market always is complicated.
Necessary economic income
Of agreement to 'Transfermarkt', Ter Stegen is valued in 55 million euros and Frenkie of Jong in 90 millions. In fact, the ex of the Ajax is the better footballer valued of the FC Barcelona and all Spain. In this window will be impossible to achieve an important sum, but aim also for the summer. With the midfield player has varied 'reliefs' in the staff, but in the case of the guardamenta no. It is a 'problem' that it would have to resolve the Barça before.
