Barcelona is open to selling two stars next summer if the contract situation does not change
The futures of Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo there are still talking points in Can Barca, with both long-term nursing injuries, and neither with a long-term contract. In both cases, they are out of contract next summer.
According to MDDe Jong had an offer on the table from Barcelona from November 2023, to which he did not respond. Meanwhile, talks were opened last January about a new agreement for the Uruguayan, but you have not been advanced in these talks since. If he does not renew his business, Barcelona will try to sell him next summer so as not to lose him for free, as they wanted to do this year.

It is from his contract situation that Barcelona's interest in Joshua Kimmich and Jonathan Tah is derived, two players that Hansi Flick knows, and occupy similar roles.
Barcelona will understand how to lose two of their best for free, and so it is a move that makes financial sense. That said, the Blaugrana were open to exits this summer for the pair as they looked to raise funds in the transfer market. Even reaching the last year of these contracts should go down as bad management.
