The fact that Real Madrid defeated Barcelona by a score of 4-1 in the final of the Spanish Super Cup has also contributed to the fact that Barcelona is currently going through yet another problem.

Despite the fact that the board of directors continues to offer support to Xavi Hernandez, it is evident that Barcelona would need to make a few adjustments to their squad in order to successfully navigate the current economic crisis.

The club needs to get go of some of the star players in the lineup in order to accomplish this goal, since they are attempting to reduce the inflated salary mass.

It seems possible that Barcelona will sell de Jong and Gundogan.

A new report from SPORT has provided a fresh update on Barcelona’s team planning, claiming that sporting director Deco wants Xavi to continue playing with a 4-3-3 configuration moving forward. This recommendation was made in light of the aforementioned purpose.

Deco is not a fan of the four-man midfield option and would rather have Xavi concentrate on increasing the amount of offensive firepower. Because of this, Barcelona might be able to bench one of the midfielders if they play a 4-3-3 formation.

Taking this into consideration, Barcelona is willing to sell Frenkie de Jong if it becomes necessary to do so. There is no assurance that the Dutchman will continue to play for Barcelona at Camp Nou, despite the fact that he has become one of the club’s most impressive players under Xavi.

De Jong has a high price on the market, which could work to Barcelona’s advantage given his age and experience. Barcelona should be able to take advantage of this. His sale, in fact, has the potential to greatly alleviate the club’s financial difficulties.

Another player in the midfield position that Barcelona is willing to sell is Ilkay Gundogan. During the summer of this year, the former Manchester City player was brought in on a free transfer.

Despite the fact that Gundogan has unquestionably made an impact, it would appear that Barcelona is in favor of continuing without him going forward, particularly considering his age.

Taking into account the fact that Gundogan joined Barcelona on a free transfer, the Catalan club may be able to make a sizeable profit from the sale of his services, particularly considering that his ongoing deal does not expire until the year 2025.

It is important to remember that the reigning La Liga champions are just considering such a move as a last resort option, and they do not intend to immediately take action on it. This is something that should be taken into consideration.
