Frenkie de Jong and Ronald Araujo are in danger of being put on the transfer list if they don't renew their contracts.

Barcelona has issued them an ultimatum according to the source below. They both have a contract to expire by the summer of 2026. As far as I know de Jong makes 19m euros a year which goes up to 25m with bonuses. He hasn't played for so much time since he recovered as well. I wonder how he will end up here. Araujo has also been injured for a long time and newly returned. Let's see what he thinks about his future.
To be fair, Araujo looks like it would be a bad beat, I would say Barcelona should keep him considering how weak their defense is, losing another defender wouldn't be on their best interest and I would say just keep him until the last moment and keep him happy, or have a plan B so that you can get some other defender in case he leaves, not entirely sure if any team would want him, but even if others do want him, it's all up to him to leave or not to leave, he could reject all offers until he is free agent and ask for more money in that way.

Frankie De Jong is a totally different situation, not even remotely close, first of all Barcelona shouldn't even want to sign him back, and if they could somehow sell him, they should be looking to sell him without a doubt, but Frankie De Jong is making insane amount of money right now, he is making about 20 million euro a year, that's not even remotely what he deserves, he should be making like 7 at best, nothing more. So he knows this, and he can simply just reject any offer and keep getting paid like that until the end of the season, and look for other teams then. So a ultimatum to him doesn't really feel like it is a big deal at all.

I am not entirely sure if Chelsea would even care, Mudryk isn't really a must for them, they are winning without him easily, so it doesn't feel like they would care. They famously have a lot of players anyways, that was a talk during the summer, they have like 40+ players or something, probably less now but still a lot, so losing one of them won't matter.

If this was Cole Palmer or Jackson then we would be seeing them in shambles without a doubt, but Mudryk doesn't really feel like he is important enough to care. They would just use that as a reason to unload him and sell him to another team, that has to be the most important part. I believe we are going to end up with a lot more and that has to change on the long run.
I think Chelsea is bothered by the allegations leveled against Mudryk. As a player under contract with the club, Chelsea have a responsibility to support and protect him in this period. While his performances have not yet met expectations, this doesn't not diminish his importance to the team. If Chelsea are silent on the matter, it only means they distancing themselves from such controversies so it will not distract the team's progress and their overall confidence.

That's literally 100% what this is about, just forcing them to take a pay cut without a doubt. However, if I was Barcelona, I just wouldn't even want them on the team, not with a pay cut or anything, these are not players they can't replace, and they worth nothing with their high salary, other teams wouldn't want them and these players won't leave for cheap neither so it is really not making any sense to me at all.
After spending half a season with Barcelona, ​​Flick seems to have started to find players who fit his scheme, he has also chosen several names to be sold immediately who are considered not to have a big contribution to the club, one name that seems to be released soon is De Jong. Araujo and Christensen will also be included in the transfer list to help the club's financial condition, Barcelona will not have difficulty finding a club that is ready to accommodate them because there are still many clubs that are still interested in them.
Barcelona finances are in a difficult condition at the moment even inevitably still  barcelona  must sell some players in the transfer market later, in addition to stabilising their finances, selling players will also reduce the salary burden and also make it possible for barcelona to register dani olmo and pau victor the second time to the la liga authorities later, Indeed, so far Hansi Flick has found the right starting eleven for the Barcelona squad, but I think selling de Jong and some other players you cause will certainly have an impact on Barcelona, because like we know that currently Barcelona has limited squad depth and makes Hansi Flick have few options to rotate his squad.

I'd rather see it as " You guys shall accept huge pay cuts or fuck off!".

Barcelona is still financially struggling to register some players. They're yet finding a proper solution. I guess they did it to ensure their salary cap reduced significantly by giving a huge pay cut for Araujo and De Jong.

In fact, Olmo and Pau have not been registered. As for Olmo, he's temporary registered to fill Christensen's free space. Olmo was able to register temporarily due to the injury of Christensen, but he will not be able to play in January.

I think it would be smarter if Barcelona just used them this season and not sign them back to begin with. I would guess, they are looking for a quick fix to their registering issue, but at the end of the day they are not going to get any easy solutions at all, it's clear that they will have to suffer until summer, then find the solution during summer, and have to just grind until then.

They have enough players in Rashford's actual position. They're not gonna waste a lot of money to add an unneeded player like him to their squad. PSG needed him when he being projected as Mbappe's replacement. However, they have Barcola, who is improving. They unlikely to revive their interest on him.
It's all for the best though. I see Ruben Amorim has asked that Rashford remain at the club and who knows, maybe the coach will be patient with him this time around and he'd try to involve himself more in the game now more than ever since we're seeing some progress from Man UTD and I believe Rashford would play a major role in the club's performance if he starts seeing himself as part of the team and putting in the effort too.

That's really sucks, buddy!!!
Let me tell you something about it. Look in below the source you can monitor it well that Dani olmo has already been banned from playing in the Barça jersey and will leave the club in January as a free agent. It's will really battered many fans  feelings. Dani Olmo is such a wonderful player his quality is impeccable. The Dani olmo situation looks serious Laporta needs to do something else for him. Because now currently Barcelona don't have any good-quality player like him and one thing I also mentioned it that now he is the key component of Hansi flick strategy, like Hansi Flick used to play him as a key player of the midfield. His loss will be a big blow for Barcelona. So Barcelona needs to find out soon something else for him to register him as La Liga.
 
But anyway let's see what happens next. I mean what did they reacted against...

Edited: https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1869406769396723997?t=6zMJdZ0G2otCBRDn5-upSQ&s=19

No surprise. Olmo is gonna be lining out from the first day of Jan.

I don't see a better solution than put some of players for sale on January. It seems impossible for Barcelona to register him without selling their players. They have more than 400 millions salary cap. They have to reduced it significantly by offloading some of their key players, which recived huge salary.

I'm getting bored always see they struggle with the same problem for so many years. It seems to me they never seriously try to fix it.

I think Manchester united should also focus on their attack. The likes of Rashford and Garnacho can't take them anywhere. Those players are too inconsistent to do anything great in Manchester United. They also need a striker because the 2 strikers hey have are not good enough.
A lot needs to be done to mak that team competitive. Manchester United have a team that can compete for the top 6 but they don't have a team to compete against the Elite in Europe.
Garnacho doesn't know how to play in a team, he is too egoistic to achieve good results with him. And as for Rashford, he does not show a stable game, and recently it is clear that he has some grievances against Amorim, who may leave him out of the squad for the game. And considering that Amorim will want to get several players from Sporting to Manchester United, Garnacho and Rashford will be better off finding other teams where they will be valued more.

It'd better if Manchester United stops to gamble for another forward. They have to put their focus onto their defensive line. They conceded a lot of goals due to the incompetency from their defensive line. They shall fully concern about how shaky their defensive line is.

Like I always say, the defence is not all that needs to be fixed. I agree that the defence needs fixing but even if you buy the best defenders with this current midfield that United have, they will still suffer. A midfield that cannot press constantly to get the ball back, a midfield that cannot keep the ball and let the opponent get frustrated will always make the defence suffer. Thats why I don't even blame Onana when he concedes because no matter how good a keeper you are, with the kind of midfield and defence at United, you'll suffer.

It's dumb when you have a lot of forwards, but keep buy a new one without caring more to your defensive line. They can still keep Garnacho to stay much longer, then lined up some good defenders. They can get good defenders to replace their current devensive players. This is gonna be more useful instead of always focusing on the forward.

I stand with Palestine.
Since Hansi Flick took over as Barcelona coach and has made a great contribution, I think it is the best way to sell the player and bring in a player who is younger and also has a better physique. I believe that Hansi can choose the right player to replace the two players and strengthen the stability of Barcelona performance. A top team like Barcelona must continue to try to fix every problem and the two players may be the current problem that must be resolved immediately if they really want to compete with Madrid for the title.
I agree with you that Hansi Flick has been very important to Barcelona success. Selling player and bringing in younger stronger replacement could be smart move. With Flick experience and knowledge I believe he can find right player to make Barcelona stronger and more stable. As one of best teams Barcelona always needs to find ways to improve to stay competitive especially against strong teams like Madrid. If  two players are really problem fixing this problem quickly could be very important for Barcelona to win championship.

Signing Lookman might be an option to improve Manchester United's attacking line, but will he fit the style of play of Manchester United and the English league?

I think Lookman will be a big upgrade to Manchester United. He's a very good player that has all the qualities of a good winger. He's one of the kind of player Manchester United need. I believe he will fit in to their system because he's a team player and he's hardworking. I like Lookman and I will not advice him to go to Manchester United because the atmosphere there is too toxic.

I think he should he should go to Arsenal. Arsenal is a better team for Lookman. He is an upgrade to bothe Martinelli and Trossard. If one of them can be sold for Lookman then it would be a good signing for the gunners. In a good team, Lookman has the potential to be a top man. If Arsenal can get Lookman together with Saka then they'll have a good attack if they get a striker.

My question: how will he be able to quickly prove that he does not use prohibited substances?

There are few cases, perhaps not even 10, in which a football organization accuses an athlete of doping and in the end the athlete manages to prove his innocence. In many cases the case drags on for years and the football organizations reduce the sentence and the athlete is free to play, but no big team accepts the athlete. I feel sorry for him, this is a big nightmare that he will go through.
After that is revealed, it is certain that his career in football is almost completely over because even though he will undergo the legal process related to the ban on playing, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the team to return to being a player after the ban is passed. Improving physical condition may be an excuse often given by players who are caught in doping cases, but can it prove it because there are many players who are actually able to improve their physical condition without using prohibited substances and that is an excuse that I think is unreasonable.

This should be an example for other players because previously we also saw several players who got into trouble after being caught using prohibited substances. It would be a shame if he had to end up in football, but the consequences must be borne if he dares to start.

Professional footballers ought to be very profissional on and off the pitch, their are certain rules guiding football and they need to by them but several footballers allow their personal life outside football to affect their career, they mingle with celebrities outside football that would influence them to break certain football rules and that's very unprofessional. Mudryk is a young and talented player and though he's yet to show his full potential in his present club (Chelsea) he still has lots to offer and it would be so sad to see him get banned if he fails to prove he's innocent,  staying out of football for a long while would affect his form and could even end his football career faster based on the length of the ban he might be given if found guilty. He's one of those players i admire and i hope he's innocent, other young lads should be very careful and learn from what happened to Paul Pogba, they ought to be very professional at all times.

Barcelona hired another young player, this time the 16-year-old player of Porto, Cardoso Varela. They recently tried to hire some younger talents. Instead of spending money on expensive players to have better teams, they just tried to hire the younger talents and use these talents in the team, which can make Barcelona a much younger team.
Cardoso Varela is a good option for them because he recently had a bad relationship with his team and tried to leave Porto, which shows that he was interested in leaving Porto. Barcelona was a fantastic destination for this young player.



It will be very good if Barcelona goes outside and signs young players like the way Real Madrid did and signs Vini Jr, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Camavinga, Valverde and all these key players they have today, Real Madrid invests in young players that they believe their future will be Bright, Real Madrid invest and they are enjoying it today because as the old players of Real Madrid are retiring the young players continue to represent them by continue winning trophies.

Barcelona keeps saying that they don't have and that even makes things difficult for them, about signing this player I don't think Barcelona can sign the player because even if Barcelona signs the player he can't move to the first team because Barcelona can not register some players, there are some news that Barcelona have not register Dani Olmo till now because they don't have money, Barcelona is also trying to sell some players to get more to buy and register some players, I don't even know if Barcelona has a good president.

Barcelona will offload some players in the January transfer window because they ought to create room for Hansi Flick who's having one of the good moment with the club. Frankie de Jong and Ronald Araujo have zealed their spot in the starting XI under Hansi Flick but when it comes to consistent performance on the pitch, I don't see any improvement from their ends.
I think it's impossible to see Barcelona will sell de Jong because Barcelona always retain him even though he played bad, de Jong might retired in Barcelona. Araujo isn't really a good player, sometime he made stupid mistakes, Barcelona should sell him ASAP.

After that is revealed, it is certain that his career in football is almost completely over because even though he will undergo the legal process related to the ban on playing, it will be difficult to gain the trust of the team to return to being a player after the ban is passed.

Not really, Andre Onana also found doping in 2021 when he was still playing for Ajax, look where he's right now, he playing in Manchester United, one of biggest teams in the world.

In addition to their fairly high salaries, the contribution of the two players is also not too big because they often get injured, selling to other clubs can increase financial effectiveness so that Barcelona does not need to spend a lot of money.
I agree that the departure of the two players will not affect the team's performance because for that position Barcelona has much better replacement players.
Barcelona must find a way out of the financial problems and they certainly know how, they can use these two players to ensure Barcelona is not burdened with large salary payments.

Yes, Chelsea doesn't seem to be too bothered by the problems that befell Mudryk, especially since his contribution to The Blues is still lacking, his performance does not reflect his price, so losing him will not affect Chelsea's current performance at all.

Exactly, if he had been impactful to the team they would have felt his situation but since he is less contributive to the team, it won't bother them much. Very sad to see the rate of indiscipline in football is on the rise and i think the FA should review their penalties for anti-doping charges and make it more severe.

However, if Palmer is in that situation, it will indeed be a big loss for Chelsea because he currently plays a big role in every victory achieved by Chelsea.
It seems that if Mudryk really uses doping, we will see another Pogba.

Cole Palmer is a disciplined player both while on the pitch of play and when he is outside, he can't get himself in a controversy that will relate to doping because he knows how important he is to the team and if he engages himself in such act, it could ruin his career and make him irrelevant to the team. He can't really think of doing that.

Not only that, De Jong's departure will also reduce the burden on the club because he is one of the highest paid players at Barcelona, ​​De Jong and Araujo are also very susceptible to injury, Hansi Flick also already has other players to replace them. Barcelona are also reportedly looking to sell Christensen to make room for Dani Olmo, as a replacement they have already reached an internal agreement with Jonathan Tah and will realise the transfer when his contract with Leverkusen expires.
The departure of De Jong and Araujo will not reduce Barcelona's strength because Hansi Flick still has Pedri, Gavi, Casado and Fermin Lopez in the midfield position, while in the center-back position, Hansi Flick prefers the duet of Martinez and Pau Cubarsi.

If Araujo and De Jong are transferred to another team, they will make a serious financial contribution to Barcelona. There are many European teams where both players can be transferred. However, Barcelona should be very careful if they want to let them go. Because both players are good players in their positions. They need to think about whether they can transfer better players instead of them. Otherwise, there is no point in letting them go.
