Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona achieved the past week announce what was expecting from did a lot of months: the signing of Frenkie of Jong. The Barcelona group has struggled a lot to be able to do with the services of the Dutch midfield player, since it considered him the ideal reinforcement for the centre of the field.

The chapter of arrivals to reinforce the wide zone of the field could not to have closed still, since Adrien Rabiot has a proposal of the FC Barcelona on the table and does not have it descartado. The French finishes agreement with Paris Saint-Germain and could arrive free to the Camp Nou in July, although it still has not decided his future.

If Rabiot takes the same decision that Of Jong and opts by the FC Barcelona, will generate several incógnitas in the staff culé. The first of them will be the future of some players, with Ivan Rakitic like main leading. The Croatian midfield player is totally 'intocable' for Ernesto Valverde, but his role could vary.

Of Jong can play in any position of the centre of the field and the favourite of Rabiot is precisely the one of right interior, that right now is property innegociable of Rakitic. The Croat, that fulfils 31 years in March, has a lot of poster in Europe and no descartaría his exit, although for now it does not seem that the Croat or the Barça handle the possibility to separate his ways.

Besides, players like Arthur, Arturo Vidal or Carles Aleñá would have to yield more minutes and could not play as much as in the present campaign. Even it would handle the possibility that the Catalan left yielded not to see cut his progression. Even if Rabiot does not arrive, Of Jong would complicate them the existence.

Sergi Roberto and his uncertain position

Another case that calls the attention is the one of Sergi Roberto. The presence of Frenkie of Jong and Adrien Rabiot beside the midfield players that at present there is in the staff would hamper a lot that it go back to play in his natural position in the medullary. In this case, the born footballer in Reus would follow acting in the right lane.
