Since the start of 2025, FC Barcelona have successfully renewed several important players to ensure their long-term continuity at the Catalan club. During this time, the contracts of Ronald Araujo, Gavi, Pedri, Pau Cubarsi, and Inigo Martinez have all been extended.
However, one important player whose contractual situation is yet to be addressed by the Blaugranes is the midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The midfielder and the club have long been negotiating for a new contract, but these negotiations have been quite complicated.
Liverpool preparing an offer for Frenkie de Jong
After a difficult first half of the season, the Dutchman has seen his importance under Hansi Flick increase significantly in the last few months. As a result, the two sides are now more willing to reach an agreement. However, they have decided to wait till the end of the season to finalise whether the Dutch midfielder should extend his association with the Catalan side beyond 2026.
In such a context, Frenkie has also been linked with a move away from Barcelona, and according to Fichajes, the English side Liverpool is already preparing a €40 million offer to convince the Blaugrana club to part ways with such an important midfielder.
Arnse Slot wants reinforcements
The Merseyside club has already wrapped up the Premier League title, but their manager, Arne Slot, believes the upcoming campaign will be more difficult as rivals like Arsenal and Manchester City are strengthening their squad this summer.
As a result, the Dutch coach believes De Jong would be a good complement to his other starters in midfield, Alexis Macallister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The report claims that there is a willingness on the part of Barcelona to listen to offers, especially if they can get a significant income. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Chelsea are also closely monitoring his situation at the Catalan club.
However, with Frenkie de Jong once again becoming an essential piece for Hansi Flick, it remains to be seen how his future pans out in the upcoming summer transfer window.
FOR EVERY AVERAGE ENGLISH PLAYER THEY ASK 100 MILLION PLUS AND THEY WANT TO BUY DE JONG FOR 40 !!! ARE THEY MAD
