For weeks already, we have been talking about a departure of Frenkie de Jong from FC Barcelona. Again this weekend, Brand indicates that the future of FC Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong is more than uncertain. The Barcelona management would think about leaving the 25-year-old Dutchman to bail out the club’s coffers. A transfer of the midfielder engaged with the Blaugranas until June 2026 would involve a large inflow of money, which could unlock the Barcelona transfer window.
The number one candidate to recruit the Dutch international is Manchester United, the training led by Erik ten Hag, who trained De Jong at Ajax, and who would like to sign the Barcelonan this summer. Even if according to the Spanish daily, the Catalan midfielder would not be interested in the idea of joining the Red Devils and would like to stay at Barça, where he is one of the most popular players in the locker room.
A monster salary
And that’s not all. To convince the player, who therefore does not particularly want to pack his bags, the Premier League team is ready for anything. As indicated by the Daily Star, the Mancunians are ready to offer him the biggest salary in the club, more than David de Gea or Cristiano Ronaldo. Salaries of around €450,000 per week (gross), which would also make him one of the highest paid players in the league.
Something to make more than one think, necessarily, especially since we know that FC Barcelona is not likely to be able to match this salary in the near future… As for his transfer, it could rise to amounts around 80 million euros. This season de Jong has played 46 games for Barcelona, scoring four goals and providing five assists. What if we had one of the big soap operas of the summer?
