There is an old refrain that Frenkie de Jong keeps with him regarding FC Barcelona.
He's not the player to cause problems. But he's not the player to accept everything either. In 2019, Frenkie de Jong courted at the time by all of Europe and on the verge of joining PSG, finally chose to sign for FC Barcelona.
The player adapts quickly, gradually gains dimension and is announced as the ready successor of Xavi Hernandez. But a few seasons later, Barça is going through a drastic financial crisis and decides to force the departure of the Dutchman to Manchester United to replenish its coffers
The player refuses and stays in Catalonia. The situation even ends up changing and despite Hansi Flick's hesitation, the Catalan club insists on extending its midfielder. But the 27-year-old wants to roll his club. Catalunya Radio explains that Frankie de Jong made wait in order to be able to leave free at the end of its lease in June 2026.
A way for the Batavian international to take revenge on Barça who wanted to sacrifice him.
