FC Barcelona is undergoing a restructuring. The club needs to make key decisions about several players. The economic situation forces them to sell some to generate income and strengthen the squad.
One of the names on the departure list is Ansu Fati. The young forward is not in Hansi Flick's plans, and Barça wants to cash in on him in the summer. His performance hasn't convinced, and it seems his time at the club has ended.
Another case is Pablo Torre. He isn't having prominence and could leave in search of playing time. Barça wants to balance the squad and bet on players who fit into Hansi Flick's project.

Joan Laporta and his economic dilemma
The economy remains a problem for Barça. Joan Laporta seeks to reduce the wage bill and improve the club's finances. That's why some players with high salaries were on the way out.
The goal was to sell footballers who weren't essential for Hansi Flick. With that money, the club could strengthen in the transfer market. However, in some cases, the decision hasn't been so simple.
Frenkie de Jong: From discarded to essential
One of the players who has caused more debate is Frenkie de Jong. In 2022, Barça and Manchester United agreed on his transfer for more than 80 million euros, but the Dutchman refused to leave.
After overcoming his physical problems, he has regained his best level. He has become a fixture for Flick, beating Marc Casadó. His performance has been key for the club to change its mind.

Despite being the player with the highest salary in the squad (€25.2 million gross), his continuity is now assured. What seemed like an imminent goodbye has turned into an almost closed renewal.
Renewal and total confidence
Barça has decided to bet on Frenkie de Jong. Although his salary is high, his importance to the team is indisputable. Flick considers him a key piece, and Laporta has backtracked on his idea of selling him.
The club will have to find a way to adjust his contract to not affect the accounts. But what is clear is that De Jong will remain a blaugrana.
A total change of plans. From being on the transferable list to becoming an untouchable player for Barça.
