Since joining Barcelona in 2019 for an initial fee of €75 million, De Jong has made 140 appearances and scored 13 goals.
The 25-year-old dynamic midfielder is known for his vision, passing, dribbling, and talent, as well as his exceptional defensive abilities and attacking danger. For his versatility to play on either side of a three-man center midfield, he's been likened to Andreas Iniesta and Johan Cruyff.
Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso confirmed his exit from the club on Monday afternoon. The French midfielder will be a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June.
Tolisso was offered a performance-based contract by the German Giants, according to Blid. On the other side, Tolisso declined.
