Barcelona seeks midfielder after Frenkie de Jong's long-term injury

Barcelona is actively searching for a new midfielder following the long-term knee injury of Frenkie de Jong, who suffered an MCL tear during the World Cup. Reports indicate that De Jong's role with the team may be in jeopardy due to a strained relationship with coach Hansi Flick. The club is considering various options, with Manchester City's Rodri being a popular target among fans. However, in-house candidate Marc Casadó might not fit into the current plans. As the transfer window remains open, Barcelona aims to secure a suitable replacement for De Jong in the coming days.
