Frenkie de Jong could leave FC Barcelona this summer: he is one of the players the club is considering selling to boost its finances.
Is this the year for Frenkie de Jong? The Dutchman was already put up for sale in the summer of 2022 but refused to leave. Two years later, the player is reportedly the top priority for Barça’s sales, according to AS.
However, Ronald Araújo and Raphinha are also on the lists. A transfer of one of these three key players would be « inevitable » for the club’s finances.
Nevertheless, Xavi played down the rumors over the weekend. « For me, de Jong is a key player. Nothing has changed, he is really crucial for me. He has been unlucky with many injuries but his level has always been excellent. I consider Frenkie a crucial player, » said the Spanish coach.
