What Xavi was worried about seems to have happened. He spoke the truth but his words actually infuriated his boss and got him fired because of it.
Now Barcelona must find a way to get fresh funds and I think it wouldn't be strange if in the near time, there will be some players who may be sold to solve that problem. There have even been rumors that De Jong has been linked with Man United again.
Manchester United have basically shown a lot of interest in De Jong in recent seasons, but the main obstacle is price or other deals not being reached. De Jong is a player Ten Hag hoped would be at Manchester United, but Barcelona have not seemed willing to let him go in recent seasons.
In the end, Barcelona was forced to consider selling several players, including De Jong. Of course not now, but when they actually get an offer that's hard to refuse. It is reported that Yamal has also been approached by PSG, as has Araujo who has been linked with a move to the Premier League. Nobody knows who will leave Barcelona in the transfer market, but it will happen because they need the money.
