Frenkie De Jong finally speaks about his future

Frenkie de Jong has broken his silence on his future as rumors link him to Manchester United, away from FC Barcelona.

The Batavian have said they want to stay at Camp Nou.

“I prefer to stay at Barcelona,” he told ESPN. “I’ve said it before, Barcelona is my dream club. Contacts with other clubs? I don’t want to talk about rumours. I feel good at Barcelona. There’s no deal and nothing official.”

If it were purely footballing reasons, there’s no doubt that De Jong would stay at Barcelona this summer – he’s one of the best midfielders in European football and still has his best years ahead of him. But FC Barcelona is living a difficult economic reality.

They have to sell players in order to fund their summer transfers and few of them match De Jong’s market value. That, coupled with their relative strength in the middle of the park, makes the Dutchman the club’s most salable asset.

De Jong joined FC Barcelona in the summer of 2019 after starring in the Ajax side that made it to the Champions League semi-finals. But he hasn’t managed to replicate the form that got him that move since he’s been at Camp Nou.
