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.
Lol... they have their major setback to be financial status but atleast they're making effort to turn that...
Barcelona's financiall will never improve. If Barcelona always tries to keep their players, and let them leave from the club as free agent. Barceloa is not good financially, and they shall have changed their transfer strategy. I appreciate that Barcelona tried to strengthen their squad. But, look at their finances.
A few times Barcelona took economic lever, but it hasn't helped them a lot. Laporta must be sensible. They must sell their players if a club wants to buy them for a very high price.
Also, Barcelona never tried to fix its financial troubles. Instead, they bought players at high prices and then sold them at a loss.
Barca can't sell dejong because he's valuable to the club, his impact was felt last year after he had injury and do did Gavi not long,Flick seem to have interest in Roque which might not make the club to sell him at the moment
If Barcelona keeps refusing to sell their player, then just wait till this club goes bankrupt. The club's finances are more important than keeping a key player. Barcelona can take De Jong's replacement from its academy.
