Barcelina not have any option right now try keep extended with Frankie de Jong, beside this player still as important midfielder for Barcelona but not have other option with financial crisis faced right now. I think Frankoe de Jong as the moat values player right now for Barcelona and selling him to Manchester United as the only team intersted with him give fresh money for Barcelona can pay player salary. Still on the top performance from Frankie de Jong and have expenaive values I think best moment for Barcelona sell him to Manchester United.
I don't think barcelona sold Frankie de Jong because of the financial crisis like you said, maybe this is like a move to improve the team formation for next season, Xavi needs more potential players than de jong
I'm curious about the selling price of de jong, because barcelona will lose a midfielder and have to find a replacement
How much did Barcelona charge for this one player? Will it cover the finances of bringing in experienced players to fill the void that may be left by de Jong?
