Barcelona reportedly helped convince Frenkie de Jong to make the move to the Camp Nou by promising him three midfielders will depart in the summer.
De Jong was apparently concerned about a lack of game time if he moved to Barcelona, and the Catalan giants offered him some insight into their transfer plans, according to Quim Domènech on ‘El Chiringuito’ (via Sport).
Apparently the three players who are being tipped to leave are Ivan Rakitic, Denis Suarez and Rafinha.
There’s been plenty of speculation over Denis already in January. He seems keen on a move to Arsenal, but Unai Emery has admitted Arsenal are only interested in loans in this transfer window.
