Barcelona are reportedly ready to sell one of their club captains, Frenkie de Jong, for a discounted price. The club management will not include the Dutchman in their plans unless he signs a new contract at the club.
Frenkie de Jong remained out of the pitch for 162 days in 2024 (April to October) owing to an ankle injury he picked up last season (2023-24). The Dutchman returned to the pitch in the 5-0 UEFA Champions League win against BSC Young Boys in October. However, De Jong has not been up to the mark with his recent performances despite coach Hansi Flick's initial trust in him.
De Jong has 362 minutes over 13 outings for La Blaugrana this season, recording one goal and one assist. Moreover, the midfielder has reportedly not responded favorably to Barcelona's contract renewal talks in recent times.
