Frenkie de Jong offered fresh Premier League transfer route out of Barcelona
Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong could be given a shock route out of the club in 2025.
De Jong is finally back to full fitness after a miserable series of injuries in the past 12 months that put his La Blaugrana career in jeopardy.
The former Ajax playmaker has returned to action in recent weeks for the two UEFA Nations League matches in November, in addition to a recall for the Dutch selection.
However, rumors persist about the club's long-term plan for him, with the 27-year-old out of contract in Catalonia in 2026.
Recent reports indicate that Barcelona have now withdrawn their offer to extend his contract and are now looking to sell him next summer.
With that plan putting him in the final year of his contract, interested clubs will look for a cheaper deal, and reports from Fichajes.net claim Liverpool are keeping an eye on him.
Arne Slot is rumored to be keen to team up with his compatriot at Anfield, with his skills fitting in with the new tactical philosophy at the club, in a midfield unit with international teammate Ryan Gravenberch.
