BARCELONAMind-Blowing! Laporta Rubs Hands about Frankie De Jong: Great Offer from Top Team

Frenkie de Jong does not wish to extend his contract with FC Barcelona, and a proposal to sell the Dutch midfielder has surfaced. His current deal with the club runs until 2026, but he has not indicated any desire to renew it. The most probable outcome is that he will leave Barcelona, with a Premier League powerhouse now showing interest. While Manchester United had pursued him in the past, Liverpool is now the club eager to secure his services.

With the potential departure of Gravenberch, Liverpool is looking to sign a top-tier midfielder and has identified de Jong as their main target for the upcoming summer. The club is prepared to make a substantial offer to all parties involved. De Jong’s market value has dropped due to his recent performances and the approaching expiration of his contract.

At Barcelona, it seems clear that if Frenkie de Jong gives his approval, the club will accept almost any offer for him. Their primary goal is to offload his hefty salary, the highest in the squad after the deferrals arranged under Bartomeu’s management. If Liverpool are interested, they will only need to convince the Dutch midfielder, who has thus far rejected all proposals that have come his way.

However, Liverpool is not the only club eyeing him. Several prominent teams across Europe are also monitoring Frenkie de Jong’s situation, as he might be on his way out of Barcelona.

Joan Laporta has made a decisive move regarding de Jong’s future. After months of discussions, the Barcelona president has concluded that the contract renewal offer, which had been on the table for the Dutchman, is now expired and no longer valid, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

Barcelona had previously proposed a new deal for de Jong at the end of 2023, offering an extension until 2029—three additional years beyond his current contract. The renewal would not have included a salary cut, and he would continue to earn the same amount on average, though his salary is currently higher due to the deferred payments.

Currently, Joan Laporta prefers to take some time with regard to Frenkie de Jong’s situation. The previous proposal has been deemed invalid and is now considered discarded. With his contract set to expire in 2026, the plan is to wait and assess whether his performance improves. Liverpool continues to monitor the situation, and as of now, no outcome involving the midfielder has been ruled out.
