Luuk de Jong awaits La Liga approval | Football

sport">FC Barcelona reached an agreement late Tuesday evening with FC Sevilla and the player about renting the ex-PSV player for one season. But far after midnight, De Jong was still in suspense about the approval of La Liga. He announced in a twitter message after 1 pm that the papers for the transfer of De Jong and the rental of Antoine Griezmann to Atletico Madrid had arrived in time and that they were still being checked at that time.

sport">Koeman knows exactly what to do with De Jong from their joint Orange time. Due to Griezmann’s farewell, someone else had to be added offensively at Barcelona. De Jong is leaving a year after his finest moment in the Sevilla shirt now probably to Catalonia. At the time, with two striking headers in the Europa League final against Internazionale (3-2 win), he became the absolute hero at the club for which he left PSV two years ago.

sport">The people of Eindhoven initially hoped to tempt him to return this summer. That did not happen, with a dream transfer as a result. De Jong ended up on a side track in Seville, after attracting Rafa Mir and the (already earlier) competition from Youssef En-Nesyri. De Jong scored ten goals in 69 matches in La Liga on behalf of Sevilla, of which 38 as a basic player.
