So why is Frankie de Jong still not for sale? If you really want to fix the financial crisis, of course something has to be sacrificed. I think it is realistic to sell de Jong, who with his sale can provide some relief to improve the team by utilizing the sales proceeds to buy players who are desired but whose prices are still affordable. They want Nico Williams now because many rumors say that if they want to bring in Williams, Barcelona will receive FFP sanctions. Lewandowski is old, ideal to be replaced by a younger generation and suitable to be paired with Yamal. This is a consequence that Barcelona must take in order to avoid sanctions and increasingly messy finances. Totally improving finances is not a good solution, and Barcelona will not be able to do it other than improving little by little.
You can’t solve one problem and at the same time create another, because you won’t be able to do anything good for the team, but will only make the situation worse. Perhaps by selling De Jong you will be able to cover some of the debts, but at the same time the team will have a problematic position in which they will not have a good performer and this will lead to the fact that the final results for the season will be worse if the player remained in his position. So the problem needs to be solved with an integrated approach, for example, not trying to sell someone from the team, but limiting new transfers and trying to achieve better results.
