Barcelona are aiming to sell Frenkie de Jong by next week at the latest as La Liga worries mount up in regards the inability to register new signings, with Chelsea and Manchester United both hoping to sign the midfielder.
The 2022/23 summer transfer window may well be remembered as the Barcelona transfer window. Not only have the La Liga giants been in dire financial straits, but this has correlated in an unexpected way to them being one of the busiest sides across Europe in the market.
Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and most recently Jules Kounde have all joined Xavi's big rebuild. But will they actually be able to be part of it on the pitch? The Mirror reported that La Liga have rejected Barca's most recent request to register their five new additions - plus Ousmane Dembele after his contract run out prior to agreeing a new deal - prompting more cause for panic on the outgoings side of things.
