Days go by in January, and at Can Barça, offers keep coming in for important players to leave the first team. The sports management, led by Deco, has made the most of this time to finalize the roadmap for the current summer window to ensure nothing is missed. The future of certain players managed by Hansi Flick is uncertain, or at least that's how it is in the offices of the Catalan club.
However, the latest information from Barça's environment suggests there's one player in particular who has "jumped ahead" of his departure. Recent reports claim that one of the main stars of the Catalan club hasn't waited to be informed that he's practically out and already has a secured destination. This news has left Hansi Flick astonished, as he hoped to reach a solution for this star to continue as an essential pillar of the first team.
Confusing Outlook: Good or Bad News?
It's no lie that FC Barcelona's technical secretariat handles a long list of potential departures from the team, with some being much more prioritized than others. Beyond the complex sports landscape Barça is going through, the economic difficulties of the club are also very present. In that sense, the main goal in the offices of the Catalan team is to recover financially once and for all to think about an extraordinary team in the long term.
From Barça, the possibility of closing sales that bring in significant money is seen favorably. The club's higher-ups agree with this premise, even if it means "compromising" the sports performance and competitiveness of the team as little as possible. However, alarms haven't gone off in the club: Hansi Flick doesn't give him the prominence he seeks, and his departure isn't considered a "catastrophe."
Determined to Leave
According to the latest information released by "El Nacional," Frenkie De Jong is getting closer to leaving FC Barcelona. The future of the Dutch midfielder has remained an enigma until now, but everything seems to indicate that it's already defined and, moreover, would be far from Camp Nou. It's no wonder: Frenkie's situation at Barça, considering he isn't in Flick's plans, has led the club to prioritize his departure.
At Barça, they believe that finding a destination for Frenkie would mean freeing themselves from his high salary, which would be a "relief" for the finances. Thus, the idea of leaving soon gains strength, and Bayern Munich is said to have initiated contacts to inquire about the Dutch midfielder. The Bavarian team is emerging as the most likely destination for Frenkie De Jong, and at Can Barça, they hope the negotiations proceed in the best possible way.
