Deco, current sports director of FC Barcelona, has taken a clear stance regarding the future of Frenkie de Jong, making it clear that the club would be willing to sell him if an offer close to 50 or 60 million euros arrives. Despite being one of the most promising players upon his arrival, the Dutch midfielder has failed to meet the expectations set for him, leading the club officials to seek his departure.
De Jong's future at Barcelona seems to be marked by his lack of prominence in Hansi Flick's plans. The 27-year-old player has had multiple opportunities to prove himself, but his performances have left much to be desired. In the Copa del Rey, against the modest Barbastro, he was a starter, but his performance was so discreet that even his younger teammates, such as Marc Casadó, Fermin, Gavi, and Pedri, seem to have surpassed him in importance. His lack of confidence and limited commitment to the team have been decisive factors for Barcelona to consider his sale.
Barcelona Listens to Offers for Frenkie de Jong
Despite his potential and talent, the club's financial situation and De Jong's high salary complicate the chances of finding a buyer. With a contract until 2026, the player has the option to wait until the end of his contract and leave for free, which would force Barcelona to take drastic measures. Therefore, Deco and Joan Laporta have urged the player to leave as soon as possible to prevent his value from further decreasing and to lighten the club's wage burden.
Hoping to receive significant compensation for his sale, Barça is determined to close the chapter on De Jong at Camp Nou, aiming for his departure to materialize in the coming months.
