Xavi said that De Jong is not for sale, and in the match between Barca and Mallorca, let De Jong play a full 90 minutes, but what does this mean, Barca currently needs the entire team's reconstruction plan, a de Jong sale, if it can allow Barca to temporarily alleviate the crisis and speed up the pace of reconstruction, then why not. The three factors have been enough, and De Jong is no longer a non-sale product.
In exchange for transfer funds
This is the most critical factor for Barca to sell De Jong, in the entire Barca team, at present, only De Jong can reflect the value of the transfer market, 80 million euros, if placed in the transfer market, it will definitely be robbed by many teams, manchester United has begun to sign De Jong, if De Jong does not want to go to Manchester United without the Champions League, then there are several teams for it to choose.
Manchester City, Bayern and Paris are all potential teams to sign for De Jong, and as long as they meet Barca's requirements, that is, pay the corresponding transfer funds, they can leave, and Barca will use these funds to buy more players this summer. Achieve the purpose of visa-free and low-wage contracting.
Salary cap limit
At present, Barça's salary cap is still a difficult problem to solve, with the continuous salary reduction of the players in the team, Barça temporarily gained the right to breathe, but De Jong's high salary is still a problem that Barca needs to solve at present, if it can balance the salary cap problem by constantly selling players and reducing salaries, this is what Barça hopes to see.
At present, De Jong's salary can reach up to 16 million euros, for De Jong, a world-class midfielder, which team to go to, should receive a good salary, but at Barca, the salary cap limit will make De Jong unique. So the salary cap will become the second factor for De Jong's departure.
Reuse the Spaniards
This is a clear employment requirement after Xavi took office, Ferrantores spent 60 million euros of transfer funds from Barca, which was something that fans had not thought of before, and now Ferran Tores' performance really cannot match the value, but Xavi is still looking for Spanish players in the transfer market.
The player who has recently spoken out with Barca is Morata, a player who has traveled to many clubs but cannot become a super goalscorer, which obviously does not meet the current requirements of Barca for the forward line. In addition, there are rumors that Barca want to bring in Spanish player Solair after the sale of De Jong to strengthen the squad, is it really trying to build a Spanish team?
summary
Garvey and Nico have been excellent, but in Pedri's absence, De Jong took on more responsibility, and if De Jong leaves, will the Barca midfield be as reassuring as it is now? Obviously, in the reinforcement of the midfield, it is impossible to have a world-class player like De Jong appear.
But barca in order to be able to balance the salary cap, in exchange for transfer funds, coupled with Xavi's nepotism in the team, I am afraid that De Jong is no longer a non-sale. As long as there is a team that meets Barca's demands, De Jong can only leave.
