Desperate Barcelona makes desperate moves? De Jong to be replaced by Sánchez

Barcelona are looking desperate, Xavi seems to be looking forward to the winter transfer window as his team definitely needs strengthening. A rather interesting player swap with Inter Milan is supposed to be in play.

Not even the new coach Xavi Hernández has been able to stop Barcelona’s crisis so far. There are some positive signs in the Catalans’ game, but it does not show in the results.

So there should be a few changes in the squad this winter. A few players should come in, a few should leave for a change.

The return of Alexis Sánchez, who is now at Inter Milan, is also in the cards. Luuk de Jong should head to Italy instead. However, he is in Barcelona on loan from Sevilla, so it is not only in Barcelona’s hands.

However, Sevilla are not against De Jong’s departure to Italy.

Inter are keen to get rid of Sánchez because of his high salary. That said, it cannot be said that his engagement with the Nerazzurri was a flop. On the contrary. Given the number of minutes he has played, he has very solid numbers.

The Chilean international would be returning to an environment he already knows well in the event of a transfer to Barcelona. However, after arriving from Udinese, he never made a lasting impact at Camp Nou, but at 32 years old, he has enough experience to be an asset.

However, it is a question of how much Barcelona need him and how much they would be better suited to other players. But the fact is that De Jong has certainly not helped the Catalan side in any way. He has played in 11 games and scored only one goal, so there is nothing to lose with this move.
