The future of two key pieces of FC Barcelona, Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong, is full of uncertainty. Beyond the current season, the club could face difficult decisions that would significantly impact its squad. Frenkie de Jong, whose contract expires in 2026, has made it clear that he has no intention of renegotiating his agreement, putting Barcelona in a financial quandary. The 27-year-old Dutch midfielder is currently the highest-paid player at the club, a situation that has complicated Barça's efforts to comply with LaLiga's strict Financial Fair Play regulations.

On the other hand, Ronald Araujo, with a contract until the same year, is also in a delicate situation. If the Uruguayan defender does not agree to sign a renewal, Barcelona may be forced to put him on the market before his market value begins to decline. The sale of both players would not only alleviate the club's financial pressures but also open the door to the possibility of making strategic signings in the summer of 2025.

The sales that FC Barcelona needs

Barcelona, currently undergoing restructuring under the direction of Hansi Flick, who has not yet had the Uruguayan and the Dutchman at his disposal, needs to balance its sporting ambition with the economic restrictions imposed by LaLiga. De Jong's departure, who could opt to wait until his contract ends to leave for free, and the potential sale of Araujo, would be drastic yet necessary moves to adjust the club's finances and avoid further sanctions.

Barcelona's sports management is already considering available options, aware that the future of both players could be defined in the upcoming transfer windows. In an effort to strengthen its squad without violating regulations, the club faces a complex scenario where decisions made in the coming months could determine its competitiveness in the seasons ahead.
