5 players under threat at Barcelona with Frenkie de Jong's arrival 

#1. Ivan Rakitic

Frenkie de Jong will take some minutes off the Croatian

While it is true that youngsters are most likely to be threatened by the signing of Frenkie de Jong, there is no doubt the arrival of the Dutch prodigy could also influence the fate of some already established superstars in Ernesto Valverde's squad.

Despite being a core member of the Spaniard's team at the Nou Camp, Croatian International, Ivan Rakitic is one of the regulars who could be affected by the potential arrival of the midfielder.

Frenkie de Jong is a player with the Barcelona DNA, and there is no doubt his style of play suits the Blaugrana's system more than that of Raktic. While there is no guarantee that the Dutch youngster will overthrow his Croatian counterpart immediately, it is highly likely that he will take some opportunities off the former Sevilla midfielder at the Nou Camp and overthrowing him is also a possibility in the long run.
