PSG is offered a surprising idea to boost its midfield, with the desire of FC Barcelona to offer it Frenkie De Jong against Fabian Ruiz and an extra sum.
FC Barcelona and PSG are not friendly clubs, far from it. Between the comeback and Neymar’s transfer to France, there is clearly animosity between the two clubs. But football is above all a huge business, and nothing prevents the two clubs from sitting around a table if each thinks they are doing a good job. This is the case with the possible arrival of Frenkie de Jong at PSG. For a long time, the former Ajax Amsterdam player was the spearhead of the Catalan midfielder. But between his serious injuries and the fact that other players have been able to take over, the Dutchman is no longer essential. And a year and a half from the end of his contract, he does not plan to extend, which has the gift of annoying the leader of La Liga. As a result, Barça is seriously considering parting ways with it for the first time.
De Jong annoys Barça
And according to the Barcelona site Carpetas FCB, the Blaugrana club approached PSG to offer them a double operation. The idea is therefore to send De Jong to Paris, but to recover in exchange not only Fabian Ruiz, but also a certain sum of money. Going for the Spaniard who shines with La Roja but stalls with PSG is also no surprise for Barça, who believe that the midfielder’s way of playing suits Hansi Flick’s desires. Luis Enrique maintains a sinusoidal relationship with Fabian Ruiz, who is not an indisputable starter and cannot reproduce his performances from the last Euro for example, when he has the PSG jersey on his back.
With an estimated value still at 60 ME, the Dutchman is worth almost double the Spanish player. This is why FC Barcelona would dream of recovering an additional 30 million euros in this operation, in addition to Fabian Ruiz. But De Jong, whose profile has always pleased Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, is no longer as much a dream as in the past due to his physical problems. But at 27, he remains a player of projection and with a technical quality which the PSG midfielder could benefit from to take a step forward in big matches. Enough to try this rather crazy bet?
