Barça’s uncomfortable economic moment causes the club to assume that selling one of the players with the most cachet is an option to gain air at the ‘fair play’ level. In fact, a hypothetical tempting offer would be studied in all cases… except three. In the Catalan entity they are clear that there are three players for whom there is no negotiation . At least, today.
On the noblest floor of the Camp Nou – now Montjuïc – Ronald Araujo, Pedri and Gavi are considered players called to lead Barça in the medium and long term . In the case of the Uruguayan, even in the short term, since he is already one of the captains and one of the players with the most character.
This being the case, the club is not in the least discouraged by information that has emerged about possible interests in those mentioned. In fact, in recent weeks Germany has insisted on Bayern’s desire to sign Ronald Araujo . The defender’s clause is 1,000 million euros, a penalty that leaves Barça alone as long as the player’s desire continues to be to make history as a culé .
Months ago, the Bavarian team itself was also interested in Pedri, while several Premier League clubs asked about Gavi when his renewal and salary improvement had not yet been finalized. Beyond their football quality, the club believes that they are ideal figures to illustrate the Blaugrana feeling that is needed to wear the Barça shirt. Just as a few years ago it was Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta and company, now, the club wants the next squads to be based on these three figures .
That does not mean that the club considers other players on the current squad easily replaceable. In fact, Barça already said ‘no’ to the temptation of selling some important pieces in recent summers. But in these cases a very tempting offer would make the club consider the possibility of opening the door .
