Barcelona could part company with midfielder Frenkie de Jong during the winter transfer window, a move that could help Netherlands head coach Xavi.
Xavi is keen for one of the national team’s best players to receive regular first-team football. De Jong is currently injured, and his opportunities could remain limited even after he returns to fitness, with Rodri and Pedri having established an effective partnership in midfield.
The winter transfer window may provide an opportunity for all parties to reach the best solution. Finding a club where De Jong can spend more time on the pitch would be beneficial for the player and would also make Xavi’s work with the Netherlands easier.
