Frenkie de Jong 's contract with Barça expires in 2026 and, so far, he hasn't given any instructions that he wants to renew it . The most likely scenario for the Dutchman is his departure from the Catalan club, having sparked the interest of a Premier League giant. In recent years, Manchester United have been after him, but now everything has changed and the one who wants him is Liverpool .
With Gravenberch's possible departure, Liverpool want to close the transfer of a top-level midfielder and have thought about Frenkie de Jong . He is their main target for next summer and the Reds are willing to make a big offer to convince all parties. The Dutchman's price has plummeted after his recent performances and because his contract is so close to expiring.
At Barça they seem to have it clear: if Frenkie de Jong gives the OK, they will accept practically any offer that may come for him . The maximum is to get rid of his high salary, the highest in the squad after the deferrals agreed by Bartomeu. If Liverpool want him, they will only have to convince the Dutch footballer, who until today has been rejecting all the proposals that have come to him.
Not only Liverpool want him, as other important teams in Europe are also keeping an eye on what the future holds for Frenkie de Jong, who could be far from continuing at Barça .
Frenkie De Jong, Farewell to Barça: Laporta Makes a Drastic Decision
Joan Laporta has had enough and has made the final decision with Frenkie de Jong . For months, the Dutchman had on the table an offer to renew his contract with FC Barcelona, but this has changed. Indeed, he had, in the past tense, because the Barça president has decided that the offer has expired and is no longer valid, as revealed by Mundo Deportivo .
Barça have already made him a renewal offer at the end of 2023, putting a new agreement on the table . The duration would've been extended until 2029, three years more than what he has currently signed. In addition, there was no salary reduction, earning the same average as at present. Right now, his salary is higher than what was signed due to the agreed deferrals.
At the moment, Joan Laporta wants to take some time with Frenkie . The proposal is no longer valid and is considered discarded. His contract ends in 2026 and the idea now is to wait to see if his performance improves. Liverpool remains attentive and, as of today, no scenario with the midfielder is ruled out.
