The future of Frenkie de Jong could be away from FC Barcelona, as the Dutch midfielder has entered the radar of Liverpool, who are preparing to make an offer next summer, as reported by TodoFichajes. The player, whose contract with Barcelona extends until 2026, has become a key piece for the Catalan team, but the club's financial complications could lead him to seek new opportunities.

Barcelona's priority remains stabilizing their finances after several difficult seasons. Despite De Jong being considered one of the squad's most valuable players, his contractual situation and the difficulties in reaching a renewal agreement could force his departure in the coming months. Although his on-field performance has been solid, the lack of agreement on a possible salary adjustment has cast doubt on his continuity.

Liverpool is the top candidate to sign Frenkie de Jong.

In this context, Liverpool stands out as the primary interested party in signing the midfielder. From England, it is said that the Reds are willing to offer around 35 million euros for De Jong. This amount, significantly lower than the 75 million that Barcelona paid to Ajax in 2019, reflects the current situation of the Catalan club, which needs to offload players to reduce its wage bill.

De Jong has seen his role within the team fluctuate this season. However, under the management of Hansi Flick, he has regained prominence in recent months, showcasing his quality and versatility in midfield. Despite his good performances, negotiations for renewing his contract have become complicated, especially due to the proposed salary reduction that the Dutch player does not seem willing to accept.

Should the discussions not reach a positive conclusion, Liverpool could exploit the situation to bring in De Jong, who would be a top addition to Arne Slot's midfield. The Dutchman's arrival would bring quality, balance, and experience to a team aiming to regain its elite level in Europe. Thus, the future of Frenkie de Jong might be closer to Anfield than Barcelona in the upcoming transfer window.
