Barcelona looks like they can hold two of their star players in Ronald Arajo and Frenkie de Jong after the summer, despite the fact that they look prime candidates in December in December. However, because the salary limit remains a burden for Barcelona, they will want to discharge different players in the summer.
One is the Danish defender Andreas Christensen. While he was praised as one of the smartest signing sessions of the Xavi Hernandez era, after a prominent role in their solid defensive show and title run, he has faded out of sight over the past 18 months. Christensen lost its place last season, briefly with the midfielder, but this season was unable due to an injury. The 28-year-old only played 26 minutes in the second game of the season before a Peans problem from Achilles pronounced him.
Barcelona tried to sell him in January, but another hamstring injury stood in the way of that idea. According to the sport, that remains the strategy for the summer, and Brentford has also maintained their interest in the Danish international. With only a year over his deal, the director of Football Deco wants to sell Christensen, but there is an acceptance that unless he returns to action and demonstrates that he is about his injuries, then bringing in money for him, can be difficult.
The Catalan daily also says that it is 'probably' that another center-back arrives in the summer, namely Jonathan Tah, but they will not 'give' Christensen on another side. If there is no satisfactory offer, they will try to extend his deal by one year, so as not to lose him for free. He could then leave loan to get back to the field.
Another case that is in the air is Eric Garcia. The 24-year-old has succeeded in getting a role under Hansi Flick, more often than not in the central midfield, but if another center-back signs for the club, his chances will be limited. ARAUJO is already struggling to separate the partnership between Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi, the two first-choice defenders so far.
