The future of Frenkie de Jong at FC Barcelona is once again in doubt, as a Premier League giant could swoop in for the Dutch midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window. Reports from England suggest that Liverpool is preparing to make a move if Barça fails to secure his contract renewal in time.

Contract Situation and Market Pressure

De Jong, 27, is under contract with Barcelona until 2026, but the lack of progress in renewal talks has opened the door to potential suitors. With the Catalan club looking to stabilize its finances, Liverpool is reportedly ready to offer around €35 million for the former Ajax star.

The Dutch international has been linked with several English clubs in the past, but he has always expressed his desire to remain at Camp Nou. However, with Liverpool seeking to strengthen their midfield, they could lure him with a more lucrative contract and a strong sporting project.

A Key Signing for the Reds

Liverpool sees De Jong as a strategic signing, especially if they fail to land Angelo Stiller from Stuttgart, another of their top targets. The Barcelona midfielder has been in top form under Hansi Flick, establishing himself as a crucial player for the Blaugrana.

If Barcelona manages to finalize his renewal, De Jong’s future will be secured. However, if negotiations remain stalled, Liverpool could seize the opportunity to sign one of Barça’s most valuable assets. The pressure is now on the Barcelona board, who must act quickly to prevent losing an elite midfielder at a crucial time for the club.
