The club, in fact, signed the Catalan midfielder Unai Hern\u00e1ndez in the last summer market<\/a>. Their squad features figures like Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kant\u00e9, Dani Pereira, Fabinho, and Moussa Diaby. Will Frenkie be the new star under the guidance of the experienced French coach Laurent Blanc?<\/p> De Jong does not plan to leave Bar\u00e7a this year<\/h2> Although Al-Ittihad has shown genuine interest, Frenkie de Jong seems willing to renew his contract with FC Barcelona, thanks to the confidence he has received from coach Hansi Flick. The German has allowed him to return to his best level and, so far, he has accumulated 1,380 minutes of action in 29 matches (2 goals and 1 assist).<\/p>
For Bar\u00e7a, his potential departure in the summer would have a mixed impact, from both a sporting and financial perspective:<\/p>
\ud83d\udcccSporting Impact<\/strong><\/p> Reorganization of the midfield<\/strong>: De Jong’s absence would force Bar\u00e7a to reorganize its midfield. Players like Casad\u00f3, Bernal, and Ferm\u00edn could take on a more prominent role, but the experience and versatility of the Dutchman would be difficult to replace.<\/li> \t Need for reinforcements<\/strong>: Frenkie’s departure could accelerate the search for a high-level midfielder. However, with his continuity, Bar\u00e7a has ruled out signings like that of Joshua Kimmich.<\/li> \t Impact on the sports project<\/strong>: De Jong is a key piece in Hansi Flick’s scheme. His departure could disrupt the coach’s long-term plans and require significant adjustments in the team’s strategy.<\/li> <\/ul> \ud83d\udcccEconomic Impact<\/strong><\/p> Reduction of the wage bill<\/strong>: De Jong’s departure would significantly relieve Bar\u00e7a’s wage bill, as his contract incurs an annual cost of around 20 million euros.<\/li> \t Transfer income<\/strong>: Bar\u00e7a could obtain a considerable sum from Frenkie’s transfer, which would help finance other operations in the market.<\/li> \t Pending compensation<\/strong>: The club has negotiated the payment of 18 million euros in pending salary in exchange for De Jong agreeing to leave the club if he ultimately decides not to renew this year.<\/li> <\/ul> In summary, Frenkie de Jong’s departure would have both positive and negative effects for FC Barcelona, depending on how the sporting and economic consequences are managed. However, currently, his continuity seems closer, which has changed the club’s transfer plans.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
