Barcelona can be open to let Frenkie de Jong leave the club this summer.
The Dutch International has been central to the most important transfer speculation for 18 months, because the club was looking for a solution for its future.
De Jong's current contract will be in 2026, so he would only have 12 months if he does not sign a new deal before the end of the current campaign.
If that does happen, Barcelona will not hesitate to put it on the transfer list, because they try to secure a sort of fee.
As part of the wider image, clubs in Saudi Arabia also chase De Jong, but a move to England remains the greater outcome.
Manchester United did not succeed in praising him from Barcelona in 2022, but it could be their bitter rivals Liverpool who come in through a deal of € 35 million, as part of an ambitious rebuilding in Anfield in 2025.
Arne Slot enjoys a strong start of life on MerseSide with his team that leads the Premier League title race and the top – for Barcelona – in the first phase of the UEFA Champions League ranking.
However, major changes are expected, with contract infection on Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, and no updates on extensions.
Real Madrid is still confident to conclude a deal for Alexander-Arnold, but midfield is a area of attention for De Jong's fellow Dutchman.
According to reports from El Nacional, Deco is aware of the interest of Liverpool, but La Blaugrana will want to push up to € 40 million.
Liverpool is also seen as a more viable copper than other options and Barcelona has reportedly told the midfielder that they will not block a movement when an offer arrives.
It is expected that no deal will be thrown away until the summer, while Liverpool will see their options on the contract revenues on Anfield.
