Frenkie De Jong, a 29-year-old midfielder, is among the latest rumors of FC Barcelona, as he is back on the market after Liverpool showed interest in signing him in January. According to information from El Nacional, Barcelona rejected an initial offer of 40 million euros and is demanding a sum close to 65-70 million to negotiate his departure.

Frenkie De Jong is part of Liverpool's plans for January

Liverpool has begun to consider the addition of Frenkie De Jong for the upcoming winter market. The initial offer reportedly fell short at 40 million euros, a sum that FC Barcelona deemed insufficient to part ways with the Dutch international.

Barcelona's valuation revolves around 65 million euros including variables, though other reports from the same source raise the minimum amount to 70 million euros. There's also mention of 63 million pounds (73 million euros at the exchange rate) as the opening price for negotiations.

The difference between the initial proposal and Barcelona's demands compels Liverpool to significantly improve their conditions if they want to proceed. Currently, the operation is envisioned for January 2027, when the transfer window reopens.

Barça has control over the contract situation. De Jong renewed on October 15, 2025, with a deal extending until June 30, 2029, ensuring the club isn't pressured to sell to avoid a free departure in the short term.

FC Barcelona Faces Increased Competition in Midfield

The sporting scenario for Frenkie De Jong has shifted over recent months. Barcelona bolstered its midfield during the summer and now boasts various options for interior and central midfield roles in LaLiga.

De Jong has yet to feature officially this season. In July, he suffered a medial collateral ligament rupture in his right knee, leading the club to opt for a conservative treatment, delaying his return and impacting the start of the season.

His absence hinders the assessment of his role within the team's new structure. During the 2025-26 season, the Dutchman reached 293 official appearances for Barça, surpassing Phillip Cocu as the Dutch player with the most appearances in the club's history.

He joined from Ajax in 2019 and has secured, among other titles, three LaLiga championships with the Catalan side. His contract until 2029 and his experience enable the club to maintain a stronger negotiating position against English interest.

Frenkie De Jong Awaits the Winter Market

The operation now hinges on Liverpool deciding to approach Barcelona's valuation. An offer of 40 million fell short, and the economic gap still exceeds 20 million euros compared to the published price.

Before January, the player's recovery and his role upon returning will also be crucial. Frenkie De Jong must regain match fitness and determine his place in Barça's rotation before the transfer window reopens.

The next move lies in Liverpool's hands. If the English club enhances its offer to the 65-70 million euros range, FC Barcelona will need to decide whether to negotiate for Frenkie De Jong in the winter market or retain the midfielder for the latter part of LaLiga.
