I can only laugh while watching Barcelona's steps and ambitions. As a poor club, Barcelona deserves to be appreciated for having so many desires to buy this, buy that, sell this, sell that and so on. Laporta is under pressure to be able to turn around the club's very minimal finances. Not only Gundogan, there are Barcelona players who are in demand by many European clubs. If Barcelona needs additional funds, of course, they will sell De Jong, and Roque will provide an injection faster by buying Olmo and Williams. Before it's too late because in the transfer market having money is the main point so Barcelona competes with other clubs to get the player's signature.
Who knows what Laporta was thinking, Barcelona currently really needs money and needs to adjust spending so that the financial condition does not get worse, but he actually kept De Jong when other clubs wanted to buy him. So far, De Jong has been a burden on Barcelona amidst financial difficulties because he is the player with the highest salary among the other players. In a situation like this, Laporta should solve the problem without causing other problems.
Selling De Jong and several other players who rarely get playing time is the best solution to get cash injection, then the money can be used to buy other players who do not burden the club too much. Laporta must immediately take wise steps to be able to bring in new players and I think even without De Jong Barcelona midfield will not look weak.
