Captain of Barcelona that attracts a great interest of two Saudi Arabia giants – Report

The winter transfer window stopped Monday night without much remarkable activity at FC Barcelona, ​​and the club focused on registering Dani Olmo and Pau Victor while renewing key players such as Pedri, Gavi and Ronald Araujo.

Now, the approach will continue to continue building the sports project, with two key decisions that can be taken: first, the situation of Robert Lewandowski as the first choice striker and the second, solving the future of Frenkie de Jong.

The Dutchman has not yet renewed his contract, which expires in 2026, and has made it clear that if an agreement is not reached before the summer, it will be put in the market.

If you want to remain in the club without extending your contract, it is very likely that you do not see regular game time.

Interested Saudi Arabia

Now, Sport reports that two of the most powerful clubs in the Pro Saudi League are interested in it, and have already informed their agents.

A transfer would be possible, and there would be no problem to pay him the same salary he currently wins in Barça, with the possibility of even multiplying it.

It is an attractive option for any player, but from Jong he has always been reluctant to leave Barcelona, ​​even when the options to join Manchester United or the PSG have been available.

At the moment, Dutch agents are exploring the market with the peace of mind that Jong has a guaranteed contract until 2026, regardless of the threats made. Only a substantial sports or financial offer could change the situation.

Greater role in recent weeks

Having fought for the relevance under Hansi’s film after returning from an injury, by Jong he has been gaining prominence in the team in recent weeks and has shown signs of recovering his best form.

Jong had not responded to Barcelona’s proposals initially, but now it seems that he is more inclined to negotiate his future with the club.

The midfielder is happy in the club and in the city, and is aware that a promising future project is being built. However, much remains to be done before reaching an agreement.
