For now, the Catalan club’s board will only consider offers for that price, hoping that the level does not drop further.
The FC Barcelona its restructuring has started in a positive way in general lines and part of this is attributed to the decision of Joan Laporta for taking Xavi by the hand to lead the project. The first triumph, in a derby, recovery of injured players, and the empowerment of the promising youngsters is part of the explanation, although not so much on the side of Frenkie De Jong and its low level.
With the Dutch midfielder patience seems to have run out. It has been a long time since it has ceased to be transcendent and it has even been thought that the best of the positions is on the side of a sale. Of course, not at any price, the value starts at 90 million euros although they understand that if things continue as things are going, it could start to go down.
Offers must not be lacking for Frenkie de Jong who has not been with FC Barcelona for at least 6 months
They paid a lot of money at the time for a player who was capable of making that first pass, taking care of balance, energizing the construction, putting passes between the lines and all that Xavi and Iniesta himself used to do. But it has been the result of a short time and the lowest rate of downturn could never be that of the first changes.
So, given the strong pressure exerted by the two Manchester clubs, the possibility opens up, especially on the City side that, with Guardiola, seems to be monitoring a player of that caliber. Although they do not have a flow problem, they would not be willing to pay such a sum and then the matter begins to become murky. For this reason they have set a precedent marked by the cost of their current clause.
At least three stars are rowing to stay with the position
This makes the matter even more difficult and is that part of this idea of ​​renewal is because they need to recover basic forces. The last time they brought out a player with special talent was even forgotten, and that has caused the economy to deteriorate in part. Nico González, Gavi or Pedri They are the names and seeing them one by one they must have a lot of reason about it.
At the moment we are waiting for the issue to advance and if there really are interested parties, they will begin to filter the offers with the previously announced values. It is a race against time, since there is the counterpart of the position that is not to reach an agreement and start subtracting money as has happened so many times before.
