According to a recent update from Fichajes, it has come to light that Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has made it clear that the club is open to selling Frenkie de Jong if a significant offer arrives, between 50 and 60 million euros. . .
De Jong, once considered a top prospect when he joined the club, has struggled to live up to the expectations placed on him, leading the club’s management to consider his departure.
At 27 years old, the midfielder has found it difficult to establish himself as a key player under the direction of coach Hansi Flick.
Not being able to make the most of
Despite having numerous opportunities to shine, his performances have often been disappointing. A notable example came in the Copa del Rey against lower league side Barbastro, where he started the match but failed to make an impact.
His lackluster performances have seen him overshadowed by younger teammates such as Marc Casado, Fermín López, Gavi and Pedri, who now appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.
The player’s lack of confidence and commitment to the team has contributed significantly to Barcelona’s decision to look for a potential buyer.
Financial problems
The situation is further complicated by Barcelona’s ongoing financial challenges and De Jong’s high salary, making it difficult to find a suitable club willing to pay the asking price.
With his contract until 2026, De Jong could choose to stay until the end of his contract and leave for free, which would be a financially painful scenario for the club.
To avoid this, Deco and president Joan Laporta have urged De Jong to consider leaving early, to prevent his market value from falling further and relieve some of the pressure on Barcelona’s wage bill.
Barcelona are now hoping to secure a decent transfer fee for De Jong and close this chapter of his career at the club in the coming months.
This move is considered necessary for both financial reasons and to allow the club to focus on other players who better align with the team’s current strategy.
