Posted on December 14, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. by A.C.

Arrived in 2019 from Ajax Amsterdam, Frenkie de Jong could well leave FC Barcelona in the coming months.

The crisis is raging at FC Barcelona , which finds itself in a catastrophic situation, both in sport and in economic terms. This summer, the club were forced to sacrifice Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann to stabilize the accounts … but that is far from over, since the leaders have clearly announced that they want to reduce the wage bill this winter. Another big name could therefore be sacrificed with Frenkie de Jong, who is nevertheless an indisputable holder at Barça.

No place for De Jong in Barça de Xavi

The 24-year-old's entourage has hinted that he was happy in Catalonia and that no departure would be on the program. However, AS assures us on Tuesday that the FC Barcelona midfielder will change completely under the leadership of Xavi and Frenkie de Jong is not one of them. The new Barça manager would like to install a trio in the club’s DNA and formed by Sergio Busquets, Gavi and Nico Gonzalez . No room therefore for De Jong , which is valued at nearly 90M € by the specialized site Transfermarkt and which could therefore pay big.
