Barça are 'fed up' with the player and would let him go for a 'gift' price

There is a 'Frenkie de Jong case' at FC Barcelona. The midfielder has not been able to respond to Hansi Flick's confidence on the pitch and both in the stands and within the club, patience has run out with the player, who would have his hours counted in Barcelona.

The Blaugrana entity considered him an important piece of the project and insisted on extending his contract, which expires in 2026. However, the footballer never responded to the offer and, according to what was reported by 'Sport', the Catalans consider that it has already expired, so the negotiations should start from scratch.

A very complex scenario due to the Dutchman's position, so at Can Barça they would have changed their roadmap and their priority would be not to lose him at zero cost, which is why they would put him on the transfer market. The Catalans, aware of the depreciation of a player who has fallen off the list, would prefer to let him go for a figure close to 20 million euros rather than receive nothing for his transfer.

Barça would be happy to get rid of De Jong's salary

The sale of De Jong would be positive for the Catalans due to the player's high salary, which would be valued at around 35 million euros. This figure would not be his net salary, as the player himself clarified in an interview on 'Barça One', but rather what he costs the Catalan club in gross.

In addition, the competition in the centre of the field, where Casadó and Pedri are 'untouchable' and Fermín, Dani Olmo and Gavi are fighting for the last place, has caused the role of the '21' to become secondary. In the ten matches he has played since being given the all-clear in October, Frenkie has barely played 295 minutes and the sensations are not positive.

For this reason, the Blaugranas would begin to plan their future without the midfielder in their ranks, in a 'soap opera' that has only just begun and that could drag on for months to come.
