Barcelona's treatment of Chelsea target Frenkie de Jong has been described as a "monstrosity" as the Spanish club continue to pressure their midfielder into staying at the club, but on their terms.
Due to the financial blackhole that they currently find themselves in Barcelona have been unable to register new players and are constantly seeking new ways of adding extra finance as they seek to bring in additional transfers.
Xavi has already beaten Thomas Tuchel to Raphinha and Jukes Kounde whilst also securing Andreas Christensen on a free contract and ensuring that Ousmane Dembele didn't find his own new club as well.
