The current situation of the La Liga giants is actually not good, mainly because Xavi has caused a certain misunderstanding to the players in terms of coaching philosophy, so that the players go further and further on the road of the pass control system, to be precise, the players who are suitable for the pass control style of play in the midfield, in addition to the La Masia youngsters, or some less mature style of play, that is, De Jong, in addition, it is not possible for the whole team to replicate the lineup and ability of all La Masia during the original six championships.
However, Xavi will also have more ideas, after all, the players that Barcelona bought for Xavi are more visa-free players, and many of them are not what Xavi thinks, but Barcelona is helpless in the case of tight finances, but for Barcelona, there are still teams to buy their players, such as De Jong before, and Bayern now.
Barcelona currently has set a liquidated damages of 1 billion euros for some players who are similar to non-sale, such as Pedri, Fati, Gavi, etc., in fact, these seem to be for other teams, so as to show the value of these players, but the contract signed behind the scenes can only be known by both parties, otherwise when Dembele leaves Barcelona, fans see 25 million euros in liquidated damages and 25 million euros in Dembele's personal income, and they already understand it very well.
According to Plettenberg, the chief reporter of Sky Sports Germany, there is no release clause of 80 million to 100 million euros in Barcelona's contract renewal with Araujo. According to the report, Bayern Munich are willing to pay a transfer fee of more than 70 million euros for Araujo
Led to the recent key purchase information, Bayern intends to buy Barcelona's defensive backbone, and is also the current Barcelona captain Araujo, many fans saw this for the first time and thought that this was not a deal that could be reached, after all, Araujo's liquidated damages were also as high as 1 billion, but from the news reports of the German media, Araujo did not have too high liquidated damages clauses. This is one of them.
Second, Bayern's transfer fee of 70 million euros, which definitely leads the snake out of the hole, wants to see Barcelona's attitude, but one thing is worth affirming, even if Barcelona wants to sell Araujo, this transfer fund will definitely not satisfy Laporta's appetite, so Bayern does not plan to use the money to impress Barcelona. But this is the first step.
If Barcelona intends to sell Araujo and let it go, then Bayern will press step by step, just like when Kane was signed, as long as it agrees to sell, then with Bayern's financial resources and negotiation ability, there will definitely be a suitable opportunity to take Araujo, because in the past two years, Bayern wants to ask for a lot of players, and there are several very difficult transactions, Bayern have successfully completed.
In fact, for Bayern, if the first way of trading doesn't work, they have a second way of trading, in addition to increasing transfer funds and bonuses, that is, swap transactions. Because it's very likely to be done.
As we all know, De Jong and De Ligt both wanted to join Barcelona, if both of them complete this deal, then Barcelona's defense will not be useless for a long time, De Jong finally joined Barcelona, and De Ligt went to Juventus, after coming to Bayern, presumably the current experience, fans are also very familiar, if De Ligt is not taken seriously, Ten Hag does not have to sign Araujo.
Therefore, in this transaction, Bayern is likely to use De Ligt as a quid pro quo, but for Barcelona, it is only an exchange of personnel, and Barcelona will definitely not agree, so for Bayern, the first way, 70 million euros to try, and then increase the budget, the second way, Araujo De Ligt swap, is increasing the corresponding transfer funds.
summary
As far as Barcelona is concerned, there is no one in the current club who is not for sale, Messi can let go, De Jong can be sold, who will be absolutely not for sale? As for whether Araujo is sold, as long as Barcelona tastes the sweetness, he will definitely release him.
