SHOCKING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea Football Club is open to the signing of barcelona superstar De Jong but this time the case is different, Frenkie de Jong has told Barcelona that he wants to leave the club in the summer to pursue other goals, according to reports from Fabrizio, Todd Boehly is ready to make this happen and Fresh contact has already been made with this player as Chelsea are ready to bring De Jong to Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old midfielder, a pivotal figure under Xavi Hernandez’s tenure, confronts the prospect of leaving Camp Nou as Barcelona grapples with uncertainty surrounding its Champions League aspirations. Reports hint at tensions between the player and the club over contract negotiations, signaling a potential fracture in their relationship.
Preferring Barcelona over Manchester City in 2019, De Jong has made a considerable impact on the team, albeit with only three trophies in four seasons: the Copa del Rey in 2021, the Supercopa de España in 2022, and a national championship in 2023. Yet, a notable European title has remained elusive.
Despite his contract extending until mid-2026, speculation swirls about his departure next summer. Sources suggest that De Jong may seek fresh challenges elsewhere, disillusioned by Barcelona’s recent performances, especially in European competitions. The club’s consistent Champions League setbacks, failing to advance beyond the quarter-finals for eight consecutive seasons, have left De Jong discontented. He purportedly desires a move to a club with genuine Champions League prospects.
Originally acquired for €86 million, De Jong’s current Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) has dwindled to €50 million. Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, is keen on retaining the Dutch midfielder, emphasizing the club’s endeavors to secure his long-term commitment through a new contract.
