WHAT HAPPENED?

We now noticed that Frenkie de Jong’s status at Barcelona
has seriousely dropped under Hansi Flick. He was before known as the backbone
of the club’s midfield but currently he now find himself struggling  for game time and falling down the ranking
order. We even discovered now that The situation has worsened to the point
where fans at Camp Nou have voiced their frustration, with boos ringing out as
the 26-year-old continues to disappoint.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

We received reports from SPORT claim that Barcelona are
ready to sell De Jong for as little as €20 million (£17m/$21m)—a fraction of
the fee they paid Ajax to secure his services in 2019. Despite having a
contract that runs until 2026, talks of an extension have reportedly stalled,
leaving Barcelona eager to avoid a scenario where the player’s value diminishes
further as his deal runs down.

De Jong’s financial impact on Barcelona’s budget is
significant, and we also see that His gross annual cost to the club is
estimated at €35 million (£29m/$37m), a burden that has become increasingly
hard to justify given his reduced role in Flick’s setup. Hence we can say that The
decision to consider such a low asking price isn’t just about performance.

DID YOU KNOW?

In some particular period of football season De Jong was
once one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, with Manchester United
courting him as recently as 2022. But because he was unable to get used to
Flick’s tactical system and a series of disappointing performances have seriously
reduced his value.

WHAT’S NEXT?

We are expecting Barcelona to actively seek buyers for De
Jong as the January transfer window is approaching. A reduced-priced deal could
assist the club in other areas for their squad. Most people suggested that  a fresh start might be the best solution to
reignite De Jong’s career, with potential suitors like Manchester United and
Bayern Munich reportedly keeping tabs on his situation. In the next few months
we will know whether he stays at Camp Nou or embarks on a new chapter
elsewhere.
