FC Barcelona are reportedly considering breaking Luuk de Jong's loan. But a return to Sevilla FC next January does not seem to be on the cards for the Dutch striker.
Arrived at the beginning of November at FC Barcelona to take over of Ronald Koeman, Xavi came with principles and ideas in his head. The Catalan club’s new manager has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his squad in the next winter transfer window, but also to part ways with unwanted elements like Luuk de Jong. Arrived at the end of the summer transfer window to replace Antoine Griezmann , the striker, on loan from Sevilla FC until the end of the season, does not fit into the plans of Xavi and could leave FC Barcelona from January 2022.
No return to Sevilla FC in January for De Jong
Some Spanish media have mentioned a premature return of Luuk de Jong at F C Sevilla , but this information was denied by the president of the Andalusian club. “For the moment, we are not thinking of bringing Luuk de Jong back in January,” José Castro told Cadena Ser a few days ago. A trend confirmed by Marca. This Thursday, the Spanish daily said that Sevilla FC are aware that FC Barcelona want to part ways with the striker. However, Monchi, sporting director of the Sevillian training, does not wish to welcome him in the group and prefers to look for other profiles on the market.
