De Jong's transfer is getting more and more difficult because it's obvious that he still wants to stay and Laporta once said he was still a want to Dutch player.
It's also been reported that Chelsea and PSG can compete for De Jong because they are strong for his bid, but what I know is that Man United only bid £61m while Barcelona wanted to go higher than that bid so it was a bit delayed or he would stay.
Indeed, even though the loss of De Jong Barcelona will not be weak but they will certainly strengthen the defense and midfield to become more stable, I think Xavi has managed this all with his strategic plan.

Looks like De Jong will stay with Barcelona next season. If he chooses to stay, the midfield will be stronger. barcelona have signed a defender in this summer window he is Andreas Christense, I think his presence will help the barcelona defense sector next season. barcelona have a stock of players for the position of defender. I don't think Barcelona will have a big problem in the lower or midfield because Xavi already knows which areas to improve this season before they are really ready to compete next season.

I would say the most important thing is that Oleksandr Zinchenko is only 25 years old. He is still a young player. Oleksandr Zinchenko did not get a chance to perform in many matches with Manchester City. But with Arsenal he will probably stay in the starting XI. But it will be good for his career. If he is diligent, he will easily adapt to Arsenal and be able to perform well.

it looks like Zinchenko can play in the midfield position and Arsenal coach Arteta knows what to do because to face such a tight competition it takes several players to be able to rotate and not be disturbed by the team's best game and performance.
I think the arrival of Zinchenko will be very helpful for Arsenal, he is a talented player and also He has a lot of experience with Man City of course so it will not be difficult for Zinchenko to adapt quickly.
it's a good transfer for Arsenal and Arsenal are very aggressive in making transfers in this market, I think it will make their team even better.

There are rumors that there has been an agreement between Man United and Barcelona, but De Jong refuses to leave Barcelona because there are some wages that Barcelona still owes him. If that's the case, then it's natural that De Jong is reluctant to leave Barcelona, surely he is worried if his rights are not paid by Barcelona. If Barcelona wants to release De Jong then they have to settle the arrears to him, but if Barcelona keeps on stalling, I think Man United will definitely back out of the deal.

Lewandowski is a great player. Although he is 33 years old, he has been impressing everyone with his excellent performances in the last few seasons. And now he wants to take on new challenges. And so he left Bayern Munich and joined Barcelona. If he can fit in well with the Barcelona squad then Barcelona will be attackingly stable as well as strong. If Lewandowski plays well in Barcelona, ​​I believe Barcelona can win the title next season.

Winning the title won't solve Barcelona's financial problems. Financial problems will reduce somewhat. Barcelona's financial problems are very difficult to overcome right now. The club has already borrowed a lot of money. And if everything goes well, and if the Barcelona management can reduce their expenses, it will take at least 4-5 years for the Barcelona club to become financially stable.

The very complicated transfer has finally ended, Barcelona really wants Lewandowski and vice versa, Lewandowski really wants to play at Barcelona and finally Bayern let go of his players who have been instrumental for 8 years. Very encouraging news and I am sure it will be the most successful transfer in La Liga this season.
and for Barcelona's front line next season, I have no doubts about it, even though Lewandowski is 33 years old but in terms of quality he is still quite good.

Is Barcelona really strong this season? I would say a stable squad is needed to win the title. But we see in the Barcelona team, their forwards are very strong. But the midfield and defence are not that strong. Barcelona's midfield will be even weaker if de Jong leaves the team. Moreover, if the defence is not strong, Barcelona will not be able to perform well on a platform like the Champions League.

Finally, this critical transfer took place, it took quite a long time. Barcelona wanted Lewandowski very much, and Lewandowski was very determined to leave the team.
The price they agreed on is also pretty good, I think Bayern is happy right now too.
It was a good transfer, Barcelona will come on the field much stronger and better this year

Transfer rumours:

Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has again reiterated the German club's stance on Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, by ruling out a move for the Manchester United and Portugal forward. Can we trust him to tell the truth about Ronaldo?  
Manchester City have no intention of selling Portugal midfielder Bernardo Silva to Barcelona this summer, with manager Pep Guardiola still viewing the 27-year-old as an important part of his plans next season. So there will be no agreement between Barcelona and Manchester regarding Silva?
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has told the club's hierarchy to continue their attempts to sign 25-year-old Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona - even if he has not joined them by the start of their season on 7 August. Interesting situation. The clubs have already agreed on everything, but the player does not want to leave. How will this end in the end?
Barcelona have named De Jong in their squad for a pre-season tour in the United States. Does this mean that Barcelona gave up on his transfer to Manchester?
Juventus are in contact with Atletico Madrid about signing 29-year-old Spain striker Alvaro Morata, who returned to the Spanish club in the summer following the end of a two-year loan spell at the Serie A side. Juve have done a very good job this summer and have strengthened their squad for the new season.

Zinchenko is a versatile player like Maitland Nails, he can play in different positions not only left back. He will be very useful when Injury times come because Injury times are always difficult and that is the main time team lose points. The deal should be a done deal in couple of weeks because the guy is keen to join Mikel Arteta in Arsenal as he lack enough playing in his current team Manchester City

If Arsenal eventually sign Oleksandr Zinchenko he will compete with Tierney as their left back though the latter is prone to injury while Taveres who deputizes Tierney had not live up to expectations for the club thus he is likely to be loaned out or sold.
Personally I prefers Tierney to be Arsenal first choice because of his pacy which often help the team to attack offensively he is quick and sharp and has the ability to launch counter attacks while Oleksandr Zinchenko is a good defender as well and his ball crossing ability is very good, however it's up to Arteta to decide his choice between the duo.

Liverpool reported has been under negotiation with Sporting Lisbon to get Matheus Nunes and Liverpool very serious want to get this player because Klopp want more players on midfield side and Nunes is including Klopp criteria but Liverpool have to spend more money to get him because Nunes had high clause price on his contract and price tag is 60 millions euro however after Wijnaldum leave Liverpool on 2021 they don't have the replacement of him and if this rumors true then Nunes probably can be consider as the replacement of Wijnaldum

I was surprised to find out that Barcelona is signing Robert Lewandowski. He doesn't seem to fit the style of the Catalonian team.
Barcelona usually plays without a strong central attacker. Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovich had failed in Barcelona. Aubameyang will be facing a heavy competition and I guess that he will have to play on the flank.
Bayern getting rid of Lewandowski seems like a weird decision to me, but I guess that the Polish footballer wants to change the team, after several years in the Bavarian champion. I simply can't see Christiano Ronaldo joining Bayern. He will have to learn German.
Another weird transfer was Manchester United signing with Christian Eriksen. I thought that his career is over after the Euro 2020 accident and he will keep playing in low tier teams. I guess I was wrong.
 

Barcelona is yet to decide whether they will sell De Jong. De Jong is a very important player in the Barcelona midfield. Selling de Jong would leave Barcelona unable to fill his void. Since Xavi is looking to strengthen the team, he may not decide to sell de Jong. Despite being in a financial crisis, they are spending a lot of money to buy players. Barcelona may take a loan again.

I read that Cristiano received an offer of €275M for a two-year contract from a Saudi team. Had he accepted this offer, he would have become the highest-paid football player in the world right now, but CR7 refused, proving once again that money is not everything for him. I don't know if he will go to Bayern Munich, but when I see that he is still performing at a high level even at 37, I understand why he is so good.

The thing that made it possible from that saw barcelona let go
Frenkie de Jong, because de Jong is one of the Barcelona players who is currently a trending topic because he received an offer from Manchester United, based on information from several football media, the Red Devils offered more than $50 million for a 25 year old midfielder that. The until now I have not see a list of other barcelona players who have the potential to leave beyond the potential of Frenkie de Jong

Robert Lewandowski to Barcelona, here we go! FC Bayern have just told Barça that they have accepted final proposal. Agreement finally in place between all parties. 🚨🔵🔴 #FCB

Lewandowski asked Bayern to leave also on Friday - he will jlin Barcelona during the weekend. 🇵🇱

Barcelona has sold 10% of their TV rights, and they got 207 million euros from the sale. I assume that these funds were used by Barcelona to sign Lewandoski. Now the problem is whether all players can be officially registered? La Liga's Financial Fair Play rules are really a scourge for Barcelona (even Messi had to leave Barcelona because of this problem). If Barcelona wants to register Raphinha and Lewandoski then something will be sacrificed, either selling some players or cutting their salaries.
