FC Barcelona Considering Selling Midfielder Frenkie De Jong For €70 Million

Frenkie de Jong celebrating

FC Barcelona is considering the offer it would accept for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, as reported by a transfer market expert. De Jong, who joined the club from Ajax in 2019, has faced criticism recently after a challenging week.

Following a disappointing performance in the Champions League quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain and a defeat in El Clasico against Real Madrid, De Jong's future at Barcelona has come under scrutiny. Bayern Munich has reportedly shown interest in the midfielder, with rumors suggesting they are willing to offer a significant sum for his services.

Barcelona is said to be looking to raise funds by selling De Jong, with the club reportedly willing to accept an offer of $74 million. This would represent a loss compared to what they paid for him and what they could have received from Manchester United in the past.

Despite having a contract until mid-2026, De Jong may be considering a move this summer as it could be the last opportunity for Barcelona to cash in on him before his deal enters its final year. The midfielder has previously turned down offers due to his desire to succeed under Xavi Hernandez, but with uncertainty surrounding the coach's future, his situation at the club remains uncertain.

As the transfer window approaches, De Jong's future at Barcelona hangs in the balance, with potential buyers monitoring the situation closely. It remains to be seen whether the Dutchman will remain at the club or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
