FC Barcelona remains keen to offload Frenkie de Jong this summer as the club looks to balance its books. The Dutch midfielder, despite his undeniable talent, has been a subject of transfer speculation due to his injury record and the significant financial burden he represents for the club.
Jong, who has been linked with a move away from the Camp Nou for some time, turned down a lucrative offer from Manchester United last summer, reportedly worth around €80 million. However, his market value has since declined, and Barcelona are now willing to accept a lower fee.
A recent bid from AC Milan, worth €35 million, was swiftly rejected by the Catalan giants, who are holding out for a fee closer to €45 million. The club's sporting director, Deco, has made it clear that they will not accept any offer below their valuation.
Barcelona's decision to sell De Jong is driven by a number of factors, including the need to raise funds for new signings and to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. The club has been actively pursuing a number of transfer targets this summer, but their ability to do so is limited by their financial constraints.
De Jong has been a divisive figure among Barcelona fans in recent seasons. While his talent is undeniable, his performances have been inconsistent, and his high wages have made him a target for criticism. If the club is unable to sell him this summer, it is possible that he will be allowed to leave on a free transfer next year.
