FC Barcelona faces a crucial winter transfer window to alleviate its financial situation and strengthen the balance of its team. Under the direction of Deco, the club's sporting director, and with the support of Joan Laporta. Currently, the blaugrana entity is at a decisive moment that could involve significant moves in its midfield.
The recent recovery of Gavi after his injury has brought the Spanish international back into the plans of coach Hansi Flick. This has intensified the competition in the midfield, an area where players like Marc Casadó, Pedri, and Gavi also stand out. However, this clear abundance of talent has left other players in a very uncomfortable position, forcing the club to make strategic decisions for the future.
Deco, as the main person responsible for sports operations, considers it the right time to adjust the team. With the pressure of Financial Fair Play, Barcelona needs to free up salary mass, and this involves seeking exits for some of its most prominent but less utilized players. It's here where all directions point to the same player, one of the highest earners in the team.
Deco and Laporta Thank Him for His Services
Deco has made clear his intention to prioritize the team's economic and sporting balance. In line with this strategy, Joan Laporta fully supports the need to optimize the available resources. According to sources close to the club, contacts have been initiated with potential destinations for some players who don't have the full confidence of the coach.
One of the teams that has shown interest in strengthening its midfield is PSG. The Parisian team, always alert to opportunities in the market, has inquired about a player from Barcelona, seeking to take advantage of the situation to close a transfer that fits with its ambitious project. Luis Enrique thinks that bringing this star together with Vitinha and João Neves would be a big hit for their midfield.
Frenkie to Paris?
Although not openly mentioned, one of the names that would be at the center of this operation is Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman, trained at Ajax, has had limited participation in recent matches. Despite his quality, he is not in the main plans of Hansi Flick, something that has already been communicated to him by Deco.
The sporting director's intention is to find an attractive destination for the player, and PSG appears as one of the most feasible options. France is a good league, and the Parisians usually compete for titles every season, although this is the most difficult in many years for the Al Khelaifi's.
The future of Frenkie de Jong could mark a turning point in Barça's planning. His departure wouldn't only relieve the club's finances but also allow strengthening priority areas of the team. Meanwhile, Deco and Joan Laporta work tirelessly to ensure that every decision made benefits both the present and the future of the team.
