Frankie de Jong is one of the players who wants to sell the FC Barcelona in this summer transfer market to earn cash and have more money to invest in important signings. The situation of the Dutchman at the Camp Nou has generated that several important teams are interested in taking over his services with Manchester United as the main favorite to close the incorporation of him.
The Blaugrana team wants to enter 80 million euros for the sale of the midfielder, who has opened the door to leave the club and be able to continue with another important team. His loss is necessary financially and painfully at a sporting level because Barcelona will lose one of the best midfielders in the world.
The signing that Xavi wants to replace Frenkie de Jong
Xavi Hernández has communicated to Joan Laporta that it is necessary to make an important signing in the midfield area to occupy the role that Frenkie de Jong will leave free. There are several names that have sounded in recent weeks: Ilkay Gündogan, Bernardo Silva and Rubén Neves, but their market price is almost impossible to pay for the Blaugrana team, so the coach has put another name on the table: Fabian Ruiz.
The Spanish midfielder ends his contract with Napoli in the summer of 2023 and will not renew with the aim of leaving the club. And his price is much lower than the rest of the names due to his contractual situation, which is why Xavi has asked Joan Laporta to try to sign him when the sale of Frenkie de Jong is confirmed.
Fabián Ruiz is a midfielder who can offer a lot of quality and versatility to FC Barcelona’s midfielder. He can play both midfielder and inside, so he can play an important double role: substitute for Sergio Busquets and inside to accompany Pedri.
Napoli want 30 million euros to let him out, so it is an operation that the Barça team can pay for with the sale of the Dutchman and they would have money left to invest in another position.
