Ivan Rakitic, Frenkie of Jong and a historical dilemma in the Barça

If somebody thought that the summer of 2019 could be calm for the technical office of the FC Barcelona, is not in the true. No longer only by the signings in sight of Matthijs of Ligt, Maxi Gómez, Luka Jovic or a left side, but also by the brutal dilemma that ocasionan the signing of Frenkie of Jong and the future of Ivan Rakitic.

From it did a lot of months that the FC Barcelona followed to the Dutch midfield player because it saw in him to the player that has to lead to the centre of the field culé in the next decade. Finally, could convince to Of Jong so that recale in the rows of the Barcelona team from the next summer, in return of the payment of 75 million fixed euros and 11 of variables paid to the Ajax.

There are not doubts, the one of Arkel is a formidable player, with a future by in front more than brilliant and, besides, very expensive. Of course, no it convinced him so that it refused to Paris Saint-Germain and arrived to the FC Barcelona with the idea to be a player of rotation. The Dutch comes to be headline because this said him and therefore the bet by him was so firm.

But of course, the football is a sport in which only they can play 11 footballers of a same team at the same time and, so that it play one, another has to remain in the bench. In these circumstances can arrive the Dutch in a FC Barcelona in which Ivan Rakitic, that seemed a serious option to be sold in summer, is going out as never.

The Croat has fulfilled this Sunday the 31 years in which probably it was the best moment of form of his career. His presence in the alignments of Ernesto Valverde in the team is indisputable and his paper is being fundamental. Recital after recital, Rakitic is transforming what seemed an almost safe sale in a dilemma of three pairs of noses.

Average Europe, after Rakitic

Seeing the current level of Rakitic, sell him can seem or an osadía or a disparate, but also is necessary to look that his performance is being a brutal shop window in Europe. Teams lined like the PSG or the Inter of Milan would offer succulent quantities by him, something that aggravates the dilemma on his future since, if it does not sell this summer, will be complicated by his age take out a high figure. It will be necessary to expect to know how finish the tale, but to day of today does not have an easy solution to value.
