Interpretation of Barcelona s transfer plan this summer, why are the goalkeeper and Nico coming? Who is leaving?

. De Jong's agent Ali Dusson has always been a major obstacle to the negotiations between Barcelona and De Jong. De Jong is currently working hard to terminate his working relationship with his agent and successfully renew his contract with Barcelona.

Currently, Barcelona's contract extension for De Jong is for three years to 2029. De Jong will still receive his annual salary of 19 million euros before tax next season, but will not receive an installment payment of 4.2 million euros during the epidemic. In the three seasons of 2026-29, De Jong's annual salary was basically maintained at the original 19 million euros before tax, but Barcelona is convincing De Jong to hope that his salary will be broken down into a combination of reduced fixed wages and a series of floating wages.

From a financial perspective, De Jong's transfer fee sharing ended last season. At present, Barcelona uses De Jong to do not need to include transfer fee sharing in fiscal fair accounts, only wage expenses, but instead helps Barcelona relieve the pressure on fiscal fair accounts, which is much more appropriate than signing in an expensive midfielder to recalculate the transfer fee sharing.

Last season, Barcelona was planning to sell Araujo in exchange for financial fair funds, but it was not possible because the Uruguayan central defender was injured in the Copa America. So is it possible for Barcelona to sell Araujo this season? Deco's answer is no, "Araujo is one of the highest-level central defenders in the world in my opinion. He needs to restore his level and restore his confidence. Selling Araujo is not in our plan, nor in his plan. Although he didn't tell me, he expressed this view with some coaching staff members last time. And he just renewed his contract."

In fact, it is difficult for Barcelona to sell Araujo to a high price. Araujo has performed poorly this season, especially in the Champions League match where Barcelona was eliminated by Inter Milan, and he is responsible for the last two goals conceded. Araujo's value has been discounted in half, from 70 million to 35 million euros, while Araujo's current breach of contract is 65 million euros, but it is difficult for any team to pay such a high transfer fee for a player who has not yet recovered from his highest level and whether his injury has been completely cured is also unknown.

But for Christensen, Deco almost directly issued an order to expel the away door. Deco said: "We now have 5 central defenders (KuBasi, Inigor Martinez, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Christensen), and one of them must go because this position is already over-equipped, and we cannot leave 5 to 6 central defenders. In the end, the coach needs to make a decision." Christensen joined Barcelona for free from Chelsea three seasons ago. His annual salary is not low, with 12 million euros before tax. In the past season, Christensen hardly participated in Barcelona due to Achilles tendon injury. He has been using cell regeneration to help recover from Achilles tendon injury. Christensen does not want to leave Barcelona at the moment, and Flick believes that Christensen has the level of playing football at Barcelona. The focus is now on whether the Danish central defender's injury has recovered. If Christensen cannot let Flick see the positive side in pre-season training, the Germans will definitely tell him clearly about his situation in the team.

Ansu Fati, who lacked game time last season, will temporarily leave the team on loan, and another player who also lacked game time, Pablo Torre, will also leave the team. Another position where there are too many players is the position of the front midfielder. Considering Nico's joining, Rafinia will play the second forward behind Lewandowski. Currently, Barcelona's many former midfielders, Dani Ormo, Fermin Lopez and Garvey, may lack time for the game, but Deco has given an answer, that is, Dani Ormo will replace Lewand to fight against fake center, and considering that Garvey can play the second midfielder instead of Pedri, then Fermin Lopez's playing time may not be guaranteed. Moreover, Barcelona now needs funds to complete the registration of new players. Fermin is a player who can sell money in the market, so it would not be a surprising event if Fermin Lopez finally leaves Barcelona. Fermin is currently worth 50 million euros. This is a midfielder with goal attributes. This price is not expensive. Many European clubs are currently interested in Fermin. From Manchester United to Bayern to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona is expected to receive 45 million euros from Fermin.
