Renewal or sale? Barça is still waiting for Frenkie de Jong's decision

If there is a name that seems to generate a lot of movement in the next market of summer in relation with the FC Barcelona, that is the one of Frenkie of Jong. The Dutch, unfortunately, will not be able to play what subtracts of the season 2023-24 because of a sprain in the right ankle that suffered during the commitment between the Barcelona cast and the Real Madrid in LaLiga. Nevertheless, still it is not of the all clear if this return to the terrains of game the next course will do it dressing the elastic culé or if it will do it with the one of some another team.

Although to the exjugador of the Ajax considers him one of the pillars of the sportive project of the Catalan picture on a long-term basis, the reality is that the economic situation of the club makes possible that they study offers by him. In this sense, from the Barcelonan square seem to be having in consideration that Frenkie is one of the most valuable players of the team (70 M€ as 'Transfermarkt') and has willing beaux to do a big outlay by him, by what his sale could allow to the club make other investments that wishes to do.

Frenkie And his surroundings follow without answering the offer of renewal issued by the FC Barcelona

In addition to the interests of other combined for doing with the services of Of Jong, another factor that could play in his against is the fact that, as diverse sources, the FC Barcelona already has presented him an offer of renewal of agreement. This proposal looks for to extend his bond with the team further of 2026 and adjust his wage to the current economic situation. Although, according to reports of 'SPORT', there were contacts with the representative of the Dutch the past month of October, the offer of contractual prolongation of the club still has not received answer.

In front of this situation and considering that the player has not left clear his wish to renew under the new contractual conditions, the Barça seems to be increasingly had to consider his traspaso. This posture does not be due to his sportive performance, since Of Jong has showed to be a key player in the team, but rather to the need to adjust to the structure salarial of the club. Besides, if the combined culé decides to sell it, still remain him two years of agreement, what would give him a margin of important negotiation to demand one enciphers chord to his real value of market.

The Dutch seems to be in position to respect entirely his agreement with the club culé

However, it remains for seeing which is the opinion of the native of Arkel on leaving the City Condal, taking into account that in the past showed some opposition when the club tried to transfer it to the Manchester United. In spite of the rumours of a substantial offer by part of the English club, that purportedly rose to 65 M€ more 20 millions in variables, the talentoso midfield player refused the opportunity to join to the team of Old Trafford. Besides, the fall of this operation, desató all that wrap related a possible complaint to the player and to Josep María Bartomeu by supposed irregularities in the agreement signed by the player in 2020.

In this sense, for now seems that the intentions of Of Jong are to remain in the FC Barcelona and fulfil his current agreement, postponing like this the conversations on a renewal. However, it will be necessary to see how react if it receives a new offer of clubs like the Bayern Munich, team that has mentioned recently as interested in the Dutch, especially if Erik Have Hag assumes the charge of trainer, or of other big clubs of the Premier League, where the '21' culé seems to have a big market.
