FC Barcelona has decided to put Frenkie de Jong up for sale with the goal of freeing up salary space and funding the signing of Fabián Ruiz the following summer. The upcoming Barcelona transfer market aims to continue renewing and strengthening its squad.

According to De Telegraaf on September 11, 2026, the board led by Joan Laporta and Deco demands 50 million euros fixed sum plus 15 million in variables for the Dutch midfielder, paving the way for Hansi Flick's objective to strengthen from PSG.

The sale of Frenkie de Jong to adjust Barça's salary cap

The departure of the 29-year-old midfielder responds to FC Barcelona's urgency to reduce the first-team's wage bill before closing the budget. The Netherlands international, who has suitors in the Premier League and the Saudi Pro League, is nearing the end of his recovery process from an injury to participate in the next two months of competition, a crucial period to reignite offers for the 65 million euros set for his total transfer.

The player's agents will hold working meetings with English and Saudi representatives between October and November of 2026. The Catalan leadership's intention is to finalize the transfer in the first week of January 2027, a necessary move to restructure the midfield rotation planned by Deco.

Fabián Ruiz's fit in Hansi Flick's scheme under Chelsea's pressure

With the obtained liquidity, FC Barcelona will tackle the signing of the 30-year-old central midfielder from PSG, winner of 2 UEFA Champions League editions and the 2026 World Cup with Spain. The Andalusian recently extended his contract with the Parisian club until June 30, 2028, but he will enter the penultimate year of his contract in the summer of 2027 and has expressed his desire to return to LaLiga.

Hansi Flick aims to align the former Napoli player alongside Rodri Hernández, Pedri González, and Dani Olmo in Barça's midfield, ensuring backups to address Gavi's recurring physical issues. However, the operation faces competition from Chelsea, where Xabi Alonso is pushing to add the player from PSG during the winter transfer window as a replacement for Enzo Fernández.

Barcelona's executives are confident in offsetting Frenkie de Jong's departure in January 2027 to formalize the proposal to the French club at the end of the season. Deco will start direct talks with PSG's board in May 2027, taking advantage of institutional fluency following the recent sale of Ferran Torres to secure Fabián Ruiz's transfer.
