The future of Frenkie de Jong in Barcelona hangs in balance – and Liverpool closely follow the situation ahead of a potential summer move.
The Dutch midfielder could be on the move, but he would have to reduce the salary. The 27-year-old is currently under a contract at Camp Nou by 2026, But his huge salary became a burden for Barcelonaand.
The club is eager to cash in as they can, looking at its departure as a way to facilitate its financial stress.
Nevertheless, De Jong is still determined to fully see his contract, knowing that none of his courtiers are willing to reconcile his current salary of about 19 million euros a year. Barcelona is believed to be already charging with sale to release the funds and reduce the salary account.
Report of Teamtalk This Barcelona is open to offers in the region of EUR 35 million for de Jong, which is the amount Liverpool see as fair value. However, it is considered that a real challenge lies in the assurance of the midfielder to accept a much lower wage package, which will have to accept Anfield.
Juventus could get into the race for Frenkie de Jong
But in the works, like in recent weeks, Juventus has also entered into a conversation, the site reports. Because Douglas Luiz struggles to impress, the Italian giants questioned the availability of de Jong. Although the transfer fee itself would not be a problem for Juve, they also do not want to reach a contract if De Jong is not open to reduce their salaries requests.
De Jong arrived in Barcelona from Ajax in January 2019 for around £ 60m and has since raised 237 appearances. He was sometimes a key player, but he fought for a consistent minute under Hansi Flick, and missed the first eight La Liga games this season due to ankle injury.
