A few days ago, according to Spain's "Daily Goals" reported that Barcelona president Laporta has put Dutch midfielder Frenki De Jong into the transfer market, although Ha maintained opposition, but Barca management still believes that selling him in the summer is a correct choice, there are currently three teams interested in De Jong, and Barca hope to sell him at least 65 million euros.
Barcelona has basically determined that next season will sign AC Milan midfielder Casey, although it is a free transfer, but the team's salary pressure is also quite large, and Barca's midfielder is now emerging not many young players, Pedri, Garvey and other players not only in Barca to gain a foothold, but also in the national team is gradually on the top, so De Jong is not indispensable now. And the point is that De Jong has never lived up to expectations at Barca, after all, he spent 86 million euros on real money when he joined, and it is difficult to convince the fans with his performance of 13 goals and 17 assists in 137 games at Barca.
But the sale of De Jong is bad news for Xavi, the Barca boss has been using De Jong as the core of the team's midfield to build the midfield since taking over Froman this season, De Jong is only 24 years old, it is the year of playing, so Xavi naturally wants to keep the personnel stable, not to sell him. But even so, Laporta decided to sell the Dutch international in exchange for money, after all, De Jong now has a maximum salary of 21 million euros (before tax) for Barca, which is indeed a lot of pressure, and selling him is a great help to Barca's economic situation.
There are currently three teams interested in De Jong, namely Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Juventus, of which Manchester United are the closest to De Jong, and the Red Devils are about to lose Pogba in the summer and need to bring in a replacement. But Bayern and Juve are also interested in waiting. Barca's price for De Jong is no less than 65 million euros, which is about 25% off his value, considering that Manchester United, Bayern and Juve are all very competitive teams, the competition around De Jong is bound to be very fierce.
