Liverpool believe Barcelona star can be signed for €35m

Barcelona’s summer transfer window is expected to be very active, with both potential arrivals and departures. While they aim to avoid major sales, key players like Ronald Araújo and Frenkie de Jong could be at risk.

De Jong’s contract expires in 2026, and if he doesn’t sign an extension before the end of the season, Barcelona might consider selling him to avoid losing him for a lower fee later.

The club is reportedly trying to negotiate a renewal with a salary reduction, but if talks stall, he could be available for around €35 million.

Liverpool are now showing interest, potentially rivaling past suitors like Manchester United.

Meanwhile, Saudi clubs are also monitoring his situation. De Jong’s importance in the squad has fluctuated, but his recent performances suggest he’s regaining his status as a key player.

Barcelona’s financial improvements under La Liga’s 1:1 rule will help them operate more freely in the market, but managing De Jong’s future will be a crucial decision.
