The FC Barcelona announced the past week the signing of Frenkie of Jong, that will arrive next summer pertinent of the Ajax in return of 75 million fixed euros more other 11 in concept of variables. The Dutch midfield player was priority of the technical office by his big quality, in addition to by his polivalencia, since it can play so much of mediocentro as of interior.
The Dutch was not the only midfield player that the FC Barcelona pursued from did months, but the name of Adrien Rabiot also appeared in the diary barcelonista. And in fact, still it is. The arrival of Of Jong affects, in some measure, to the one of the French, but does not make it impossible, since it considers that they are two absolutely compatible players.
We remember that Rabiot finishes agreement with Paris Saint-Germain in June of this year, reason by which his traspaso in summer would go out to cost zero. Nevertheless, it would generate an important 'overbooking' in the centre of the field, by what, if his signing closes , would have to give exit to any of the players that form part of the staff at present.
The problem is that the contractual situation of Rabiot is golosa and a lot of teams -as the Tottenham, the Bayern of Munich or until the Real Madrid- have arrived to interest by him. All this has carried to Veronique, agent and mother of the footballer, to break the verbal agreement that had with the directive of the FC Barcelona to ask more money.
Nevertheless, the club culé no longer is had to do any atrocity to subject to the whims of Rabiot and his mother. Of Jong is polyvalent and can occupy any part of the centre of the field, something that does that the signing of the French have left to be a priority, becoming an opportunity to bring to a crack to cost zero.
Rabiot: Or you take it, or you leave it
The FC Barcelona carries months showing him to Rabiot that the interest in him is real and has confronted to Paris Saint-Germain -knowing the risk that this comports- to bring him to the Camp Nou. The footballer does not seem to value too much this effort and has initiated an autosubasta by Europe that does not go to change the posture culé. The letters are on of the table. Or you take it, or you leave it, Rabiot.
