War is declared between FC Barcelona and Frenkie de Jong

There is electricity in the air in Barcelona. Not because of the weather, since the sun is indeed reigning over Catalonia at the moment, but more precisely on the Camp Nou side. While the situation of Ousmane Dembélé (25) seems to have been settled (the Frenchman will sign a new two-year contract), and the recruitment of Raphiniha (25) from Leeds is about to be closed, the thorny Frenkie de Jong (25) should give him some headaches for the Blaugrana leaders.

Centerpiece of Barça by Xavi Hernandez, the Dutch midfielder nevertheless has a contract until 2026 with the culé club. But now, a war of position could well take place in the coming days, as related by our colleagues from Brandwhile Frenkie de Jong’s return to training is scheduled for Monday in Spain.

Decisive meeting in the next few hours

FC Barcelona, ​​which can no longer spend without counting as in the past and must also replenish its coffers during this summer transfer window 2022, indeed wishes to separate from the international oranje (44 caps, 1 goal). The fault, in particular, of a very lucrative contract pumping as it should the financial reserves of Barça. But a major problem persists in this case. The principal concerned wants to stay in Barcelona, ​​where he feels very good and where he has just bought a house with his wife, as he has explained several times in recent months.

Brand specified that a meeting between the different parties should take place very soon in order to clarify matters. In particular, the De Jong clan wants to know the exact position of FCB, while they did not appreciate the disclosure of the negotiations with Manchester United, and believe that the club is waging a campaign against the player. Barça could agree to keep the former Ajax player, recruited for 86 M€ in 2019, but he would have to agree to lower his salary. At the same time, lurking in the shadows, the Red Devils and Erik ten Hag are ready to pounce for Frenkie de Jong, while FdJ could also be part of a crazy barter between Barça and Chelsea. Vibe.
