Liverpool FCโs management is reportedly considering a significant move to sign a player from Barcelona in the upcoming summer transfer window. The club is exploring the possibility of acquiring Frenkie de Jong to strengthen their squad under Dutch coach Arne Slot. This move comes as Liverpool looks to enhance their teamโs capabilities with the leadership of Slot, who is reportedly keen on working with De Jong.
According to “Football Spain,” Liverpool is closely monitoring De Jongโs situation at Barcelona. Slot is particularly interested in De Jong, as he believes the midfielderโs skills fit well with the teamโs new tactical approach. This speculation arises amid stalled contract renewal talks between Barcelona and De Jong, suggesting the Catalan club may be open to selling him next summer.
De Jong, 27, is a versatile central midfielder whose contract with Barcelona runs until June 2026. Since joining the club, he has made 222 appearances, scoring 17 goals and providing 21 assists. He has won multiple titles with Barcelona, including a La Liga title, a Copa del Rey, and a UEFA Super Cup.
