After a busy summer of spending, Barcelona wanted to balance the books, or at least that’s what we assumed, so they decided to sell Frenkie de Jong.
Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski were purchased by the La Liga team, while Franck Kessie and Andreas Christensen joined for free.
If Barcelona needed the money, Manchester United would be more than happy to purchase De Jong.
Xavi, however, has denied those rumors. In his team’s (1-0) victory over archrival Real Madrid on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Barcelona manager used De Jong as a center-back, indicating the Dutchman is part of his plans for the upcoming campaign.
Xavi stated to the media; with respect to Frenkie, (I talked to him. I really enjoy him. He is a fundamental football player in my opinion, but there are other factors, such as the economy and fair play).
(He has a lot to offer as a center-back. He’s good there, in my opinion.) the head coach of Catalan giants added.
