Frenkie de Jong is close to making a significant change in his career with FC Barcelona, after several months away from the fields. The Dutch midfielder, injured since April, is about to rejoin the team, as confirmed by the sports director, Deco, in his most recent statements. "I don't understand the rumors about his future. De Jong has a contract with Barça and we are very happy with him. We are eager for his return because we need him," stated Deco, dispelling any doubts about the player's continuity.

Despite speculations pointing to a possible departure of De Jong, Barcelona has full confidence in him, and his return after the injury is anticipated as a key addition heading into autumn. Coach Hansi Flick also recognizes that the Dutchman is vital to his playing system and plans to give him an important role as soon as he returns to training. During his recovery, De Jong has been working individually to overcome an ankle injury suffered during the Clásico against Real Madrid.

The good news for Barcelona and its fans is that the midfielder has shown positive progress in recent weeks. Reports indicate that he has started to perform speed exercises, turns, and ball control without difficulties, suggesting that his return to group training is imminent. This comeback comes at a crucial time, as the team has suffered several absences in midfield, such as Gavi, Marc Bernal, and Fermín, which have posed challenges in maintaining solidity in that area of the field.

Barça wants to continue with De Jong

Although rumors about his possible departure have been constant, Deco has made it clear that the club is counting on De Jong for the immediate future. "We want him to stay with us, but the player will decide in due time. The important thing now is for Frenkie to play again because we need him," added the director.

The return of Frenkie De Jong will be a relief for both Barcelona and Hansi Flick, who will be able to rely on one of his most talented players in a season that is still long.
