Barcelona willing to sell star player for just €20m

Frenkie de Jong's future at Barcelona has been shrouded in doubt for some time, with the Dutchman seemingly reluctant to sign a new contract. For the first time this season, his starting spot is under real threat, with the Blaugrana content to move him due to his contract situation.

De Jong reportedly had a contract offer on the table for much of this year, but it has now been withdrawn by Barcelona, ​​Sport says. Due to the change in his role in the team, they feel it is only fair that talks about a new deal start all over again. It is also noted that while his salary is not €35 million gross per season, the cost of keeping him next year would be around that.

As such, Barcelona will put De Jong up for sale and would settle for just €20 million for him next summer. Unless the midfielder shows a desire to extend his contract at a much lower rate, they will look to move him, and with the form of Marc Casado and the return of Marc Bernal next year from injury there is no guarantee that he will move. up the pecking order.
