Liverpool have reportedly joined the bidding for Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman's continuity at Barça is up in the air and the 'reds' are reportedly going for his signing
Frenkie de Jong remains in the 'eye of the storm'. After having excited FC Barcelona with his possible resurgence thanks to his great performance in Mallorca, the draw against Betis has left him exposed. The Dutchman committed the penalty that gave the first goal to the Verdiblancos and his level was far below what was expected, once again 'desperating' the Catalans.
His sporting crisis is linked to his contractual 'drama', since the negotiations for his renewal remain completely stalled. In fact, at Can Barça they consider that the offer made several months ago is expired and, if they want to bring positions closer, the conversations will have to start from scratch, so the situation is increasingly complex.
Liverpool interested in Frenkie
This scenario would like to be taken advantage of by the Premier League, where Liverpool have already shown interest in the player. According to 'El Nacional.cat', the 'reds' want to strengthen their midfield and the Dutchman's profile fits with what Arne Slot is looking for, so they would be willing to go for his signing.
However, his operation will not be easy. Hansi Flick continues to fully trust in the player's qualities and considers that he will be key in the future of his project, so he would be insisting to the Catalans to get his renewal and avoid his departure.
Despite this, in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou they are not closed to the idea of selling him. If De Jong refuses to extend his commitment to the club, the Catalans would put him on the market, and would even be willing to transfer him at a bargain price so as not to lose him at zero cost. If this scenario ends up happening, at Anfield Road they would be prepared to launch an offensive for the midfielder.
