Is Arabia tempting him? Frenkie de Jong's stance on his future at FC Barcelona

Frenkie de Jong continues his path of redemption at FC Barcelona. The Dutchman is starting to have more prominence under Hansi Flick, and although, as of today, he must fight for a starting position, the coach is showing signs of regaining his confidence in the player, and his 'breakthrough' into the starting eleven is becoming less of a utopia and more of a real possibility.

Meanwhile, in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, they are focused on resolving the issue of his future. The midfielder has yet to renew, and the Catalans have already given him an ultimatum: either he signs his new contract before the summer or he will be placed on the market. If he decides to stay without extending his contract, he could be relegated to the stands in his last year of contract.

The player has shown openness to extending his stay in the Catalan capital, where he is happy and comfortable in the team, but at Can Barça, they have made it clear that if he wants to continue under Flick, he will have to lower his salary, so negotiations will not be easy.

Saudi Arabia wants to seduce Frenkie

This situation is being seized by Saudi Arabia, which plans an offensive for Frenkie at the end of the season. According to 'SPORT', two of the most powerful clubs in the league, Al-Ittihad is one of them, wants him at all costs, and they would have already communicated their intentions to his agents. 

However, heading to the Middle East would not be an option for De Jong at the moment. The player has always been reluctant to leave Barça, and Saudi football does not attract him, but if he does not reach an agreement with the Catalans, the club will push as hard as possible to find a solution beneficial for both parties, and that solution involves a transfer. The coming months will be crucial in this never-ending saga.
