UEFA Champions League
FC Barcelona has been going through a critical situation for several years, as a result of poor management by its executives. Although the arrival of Joan Laporta raised expectations for change, internal decisions and on-field results have not significantly improved. In this context, the name of Frenkie de Jong has begun to be rumored as a possible signing for one of its top rivals: Real Madrid.
The Dutch midfielder, who has been crucial for Barcelona in various stages, appears to lack the club's trust at the moment. According to 'Real Madrid Exclusivo', this situation could be seized by Florentino Pérez, who is interested in adding De Jong to the ranks of the merengue team. The departure of Toni Kroos, who has retired from professional football, leaves a gap in the midfield that De Jong could perfectly fill.
Florentino would attempt a new "Figo case"
De Jong's contract with Barcelona expires in the summer of 2025, which could facilitate his signing by another club, especially if negotiations for his renewal do not succeed. If this move materializes, we would be facing a new "Figo case," a historic signing that hit Barcelona's fans hard and significantly strengthened Real Madrid.
The possibility of De Jong wearing the white jersey would not only be a major setback for Barcelona but also strengthen a Madrid that aims to maintain its dominance in European football. With the next transfer window on the horizon, we will need to keep an eye on the moves of both clubs. If Real Madrid decides to take this step, it could mark a before and after in the rivalry between the two giants of Spanish football. For now, we can only wait to see if this possibility becomes a reality in the summer of 2025.
