Liverpool Preparing €35M Bid for Frenkie de Jong Amid Saudi Interest
Liverpool are reportedly set to launch a €35 million bid for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to Fichajes. However, the Reds are not alone in the race, as clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also keeping a close eye on the Dutch international.
De Jong’s Future at Barcelona in Doubt?
Despite being a key figure under Hansi Flick, De Jong’s future at Barcelona remains uncertain, especially with the emergence of Marc Casado. If the club receives an acceptable offer, they may consider selling the midfielder.
Financial Concerns & Unpaid Wages
Adding to the complexity, De Jong was recently revealed as Barcelona’s highest earner, with the club still owing him wages from previous seasons. This financial situation could push Barça to consider offers, particularly if Liverpool or a Saudi club present a lucrative deal.
With the summer transfer window approaching, De Jong’s future could be one of the key talking points in the coming months. Will Liverpool secure his signature, or will Saudi clubs swoop in with a bigger offer?
