Frenkie de Jong’s future will remain firmly linked to FC Barcelona. The Dutchman has once again been the protagonist of several rumors that have linked him with a possible departure from Barça, but his ankle problems and the footballer’s inflexible attitude towards not leaving the club have made any transfer option difficult. For this reason, Manchester United, the team that has shown the most interest in signing him, has ruled out his arrival on the transfer market.

The midfielder was once again on the radar of the team led by Erik ten Hag. The “Red Devils” are building a very competitive project at Old Trafford with the aim of returning to the top of the sport, which is why they have welcomed young “forces” such as Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui. Various rumours portrayed Frenkie as a “jewel” in the Mancunians’ crown, but this situation would be far from reality.

According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Teatro de los Sueños office is not considering hiring De Jong. The English team will not opt ​​for Gorcum under any circumstances this summer. There are no talks or negotiations and it is expected to remain that way until the end of the transfer market.A scenario that represents a “blow” for Barça, as they were confident of being able to make money from the sale of the Dutchman, which could bring a good “piece” of money to the Catalan coffers and facilitate the signing of some players and even the arrival of some important names.

This confirms the midfielder’s stay at Barcelona. The player had no intention of leaving the Barça institution, where he feels comfortable and receives the highest salary in the squad. and he is expected to play an important role in Hansi Flick’s plan, who sees him as the undisputed linchpin of his team and he would have asked the club to reject any offer for the footballer.

Frenkie is working on his recovery

For now, De Jong’s priority remains to overcome the physical setback that has kept him out of action for almost four months. The player continues to work on his recovery from his second degree sprain in his right ankle and, although he does not yet have a fixed date for his return, he is making progress and is already training on the grass. hoping to see him again along with the rest of his teammates after the national team break in September.
