The future of Frenkie de Jong at FC Barcelona has been secured once again, thanks to the firm stance of their new coach, Hansi Flick. The German coach, who took charge of the team this summer, made it clear to the club's board that the Dutch midfielder is a key piece in his project and that his departure was not considered, despite persistent rumors linking him to the Premier League.

Since his arrival at the Blaugrana club, Flick identified De Jong as the ideal player to play the holding midfielder role in front of the defense. With this vision in mind, as reported by the newspaper Sport, the coach explicitly requested the sports management to reject any offers for the midfielder. This strategic approach made it clear that Flick did not see it as a priority to sign another midfielder for that position, despite initial speculations about possible reinforcements.

De Jong's departure was not considered

The German coach, after discussing with Deco the planning and available resources for new signings, decided that the budget should be used to strengthen the offensive sector, with names like Dani Olmo and Nico Williams on his wish list. The arrival of another holding midfielder, like Mikel Merino, was discarded after evaluating the options already present in the squad, unless there were significant departures.

Despite injuries that have forced Flick to rely on young academy players during pre-season, the coach remains firm in his decision to place De Jong in a crucial role in his tactical setup. With the return of the Dutchman expected in September, after recovering from a persistent ankle injury, Barça hopes that the player will establish himself as a key player under Flick's guidance. In addition, there is confidence that this renewed prominence will encourage De Jong to agree to a contract extension before the end of the year.
