UEFA Champions League
Liverpool has taken a firm step in its intention to strengthen the midfield with an eye on Frenkie de Jong. Anfield's team is preparing an offer of 40 million euros to convince FC Barcelona to part ways with one of its technical pillars. The Dutch midfielder, who still has a contract in force until 2026, is a key piece in the planning that Arne Slot is designing for his first season at the helm of the team.
The English club knows that the next season will demand an even higher level, especially with direct rivals like Arsenal and Manchester City reinforcing aggressively. In this context, De Jong's addition would be strategic, not only for his individual quality but also for his ability to articulate the game alongside names like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. Slot wants a fluid engine, with possession and rhythm changes, and the former Ajax player fits perfectly into that scheme.
Liverpool wants to sign Frenkie de Jong
From the Barcelona camp, there is a willingness to listen to offers, especially if the economic conditions are favorable. Despite De Jong's importance in the squad, the club's financial situation necessitates considering significant transfers.
Although Liverpool is not the only interested party—Arsenal and City are also closely monitoring the situation—the drive of the new coach and the need to consolidate a dominant midfield could place Merseyside's team in an advantageous position. De Jong, with two goals and two assists in 40 games this season, continues to show consistency, and his elite experience makes him a desired figure in the Premier League. The market will dictate whether this move becomes a reality.
