Barcelona is currently facing a significant financial crisis that has hindered the club’s ability to finalize new deals and register new players. This situation has affected various aspects of the team. In response, Barcelona has announced a strategic measure, putting substantial pressure on five players to either renew their contracts or consider moving to other clubs. This move is part of the club’s broader effort to restructure the team and enhance its financial stability, aiming to refresh the squad and realign priorities with future objectives.
According to Spanish journalist Fernando Polo, the players under scrutiny are Frenkie de Jong, Christensen, Eric Garcia, Ronald Araujo, and Inigo Martinez. These players are required to either agree to new contract terms or explore transfer options. This approach highlights Barcelona’s struggle to balance financial stability with maintaining the team’s competitive level.
The club’s management aims to leverage these players’ situations, either by negotiating contract renewals or facilitating transfers that could boost the club’s budget and create opportunities for others.
