War is declared between FC Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong
The city of Barcelona is electrified. Not because of the weather—though Catalonia is currently under a glorious sun—but specifically on the Camp Nou side. While Raphiniha's (25) transfer from Leeds is likely to be finalized and Ousmane Dembélé's (25) problem appears to have been resolved (the Frenchman will sign a new two-year contract), the thorny Frenkie de Jong (25) might cause some headaches for the Blaugrana managers.
Xavi Hernandez is the star of Barça, but the Dutch midfielder is under contract to the culé club until 2026. Now, though, a battle for position may well occur in the coming days, according to our Brand colleagues, while Frenkie de Jong is expected to resume training on Monday in Spain.
A meeting with a decision will take place soon.
FC Barcelona does want to break away from the international oranje, but is unable to do so due to the need to replenish its financial resources during the summer 2022 transfer window (44 caps, 1 goal). It was specifically the fault of a very lucrative deal that prevented Barça's financial reserves from growing as they ought to. But in this instance, a serious issue still exists. The concerned principal has often indicated in recent months that he wants to stay in Barcelona since he feels very well there and recently bought a property there with his wife.In order to explain things, Brand suggested that a conference between the various stakeholders should happen very soon. The De Jong family in particular wants to know FCB's precise position because they think the team is launching a campaign against the player and did not appreciate the conversations with Manchester United being made public. Barça might agree to keep the former Ajax star they signed in 2019 for 86 million euros, but he would have to accept a pay cut. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag and the Red Devils are waiting in the shadows to seize Frenkie de Jong, and FdJ might possibly be involved in an absurd trade between Chelsea and Barça. Vibe.
