In comments published this morning for Voetbal International, Frenkie de Jong clearly opened the door to a departure from FC Barcelona, he whose relations with the management would be more than frosty: “I have to admit that when I signed for Barcelona, I didn't imagine winning just a La Liga, a Copa del Rey and a Spanish Super Cup after 4 years. I was expecting at least twice as much, so it disappoints me. Things happen outside that we can't predict. The renewal of my contract is a topic of discussion in the newspapers, but not for me. I want to play football and then I will see what the club wants to do with me, then I will decide what I want to do, with my agent and my family.

If I felt like I couldn't contribute enough, or if the team wasn't competitive, I would leave..”
Bayern favorite if de Jong leaves Barça?

And according to information from El Nacional, Bayern Munich would be the most credible destination for the former Ajax Amsterdam metronome.

As a reminder, the Batavian is under contract until 2026 with the Blaugranas and at present, an extension is clearly not the trend. Suffice to say that a sale is more possible than ever at a time when Barça could take the opportunity to draw a nice check or risk having to sell it off in the coming months. To be continued.
