Frenckie De Jong's saga within the Barcelona team seems to be heading towards an end, marked by an ever-widening misunderstanding.
The situation between Frenckie De Jong and FC Barcelona is becoming more and more tense, particularly due to the negotiations for his renewal which are not moving forward. Even if his return from injury was positive during the last classico, De Jong failed to regain his usual level and became less influential. Plus, recurring injuries don't help. His high salary compared to his contribution on the pitch and his refusal to meet the club's expectations widen the gap between him and the fans, who even booed him when he replaced Pedri in the Champions League against French club Brest . This clearly shows the tension between the Dutch midfielder and the club.
The end of the adventure
The Catalan club had, last season, submitted a contract extension offer to its midfielder, accompanied by a salary reduction. The player and his entourage having not responded, the time limit expires without a response. This leaves the club with two alternatives: renew the offer with better conditions, which seems unlikely given the player's form, who is frequently injured, or consider transferring him to another club to save on his salary and improve the financial situation. .
