The fans of the Barça traspasaría to Rakitic in favour of Of Jong

Since it landed in the bench of the FC Barcelona, Ernesto Valverde has converted to Ivan Rakitic in one of his 'protected', in an indispensable piece in the alignments titled for the big majority of parties of the season 2018-19, and in a player that, said this, will deny to lose in the next markets of signings while he continue in the charge of trainer of the Barça.

A situation that, curiously, contrasts with the majority opinion of the fans culé. In the last days launch a survey from 'FCBN', asking to our readers by what would have to do the FC Barcelona with the 'overbooking' in the medullary after having closed the signing of Frenkie of Jong of face to the next season 2019-20.

31% of the voters bet for keeping the usual trio of midfield players titled, Busquets-Rakitic-Arthur, whereas 20% bet by a centre of the field title composed by Busquets-Arthur-Of Jong, and with Rakitic in the bench. The most curious of everything, however, is that 45% of the users signalled the option of traspasar to Rakitic to endow of more minutes and leadership to Frenkie of Jong. Some surprising results, and that signal that good part of the fans culés would think that the Barcelona stage of Rakitic is next to his end.

It arrived to the FC Barcelona in summer of 2014 of the hand of Zubizarreta and, since, has turned into an indispensable pillar for a FC Barcelona in which it has marked important goals -as the one of the final of the Champions League in front of the Juventus-, given assistances, delivered game and gifted to the team of defensive balance with his helps and coverages.

Rakitic Has showed a big performance, and to day of today still could give much more to the FC Barcelona to his 30 years. True is that the signing of Frenkie of Jong has generated a lot of illusion and expectations, but surprises that it have so much confidence in the Dutch, that still has not dressed the elastic Barcelona, as to delete of the staff to a 'heavy weight' as it is Rakitic.

The Croatian midfield player follows without renewing, and has a clause of rescission of 125 million euros that tempted to some big clubs of Europe, but that seems complicated that some big team pay next summer. If it paid his clause, in any case, the fans barcelonista would agree with the course of the Croatian, appreciating him this yes all what has done by the club.

Rakitic Will follow playing while Valverde continue

But Josep Maria Bartomeu already has left clear in several interviews that the aim is that Rakitic continue some years more in the FC Barcelona, by what will not give the case of the supposed exit of the Croatian this next summer in the market of signings. It will coexist in the staff with Of Jong, Arthur Melo and the rest of midfield players culés, him in spite of the one who weigh him.

And, if it also continues Ernesto Valverde to charge of the team, is clear that will follow enjoying of a lot of minutes in the onces titled of the FC Barcelona, given the balance and the degree of experience that contributes to the team. Some have criticised lately that, with him and Busquets in the centre of the field, the Barça loses speed in the mobility of balloon, and therefore capacity of surprise.

A wide sector of the fans misses the 'tiki-taka' that had with Iniesta and Xavi forming trio with Busquets... But the times change. And, although Arthur Melo seems horrors -regarding game- to the of Terrassa, will be missing to see if Of Jong has also an air to the of Fuentealbilla. The Dutch rather will arrive to play on a long-term basis in the position of Busquets, by what would not be of more than Rakitic was still in the staff, was or not titling. If Valverde knows to manage well his minutes, the presence of Rakitic will not prevent necessarily the progress of Arthur, Of Jong and Aleñá.
