The Barça team wanted to get rid of the Dutchman’s high salary
Frenkie de Jong has starred in one of the soap operas of the summer in the FC Barcelona, who wanted to transfer to the footballer. Offers have not been lacking, because despite the low level that he has shown during these seasons, he continues to be a highly valued player internationally. But the player was clear that he did not want to leave the club, much less the club that he showed the most interest in signing him.
That club was Manchester United, which at the request of Ten Hag offered a amount close to 60 million euros to seize the player’s services. But the Dutch footballer wanted to play in the next edition of the Champions League, something that was decisive for the footballer ended up rejecting the red devils.
The signing that FC Barcelona was looking for with the departure of De Jong
One of the reasons why the departure of the midfielder was a priority for FC Barcelona was due to the arrival of a new player. That player was Bernardo Silva, who had become the club’s great goal. In fact, they were willing to make a huge financial offer to convince him.
In total, there was talk of an amount close to 80 million euros to dress the Portuguese as a Barça player. He figures that Manchester City was willing to accept, since the player has also transferred to the club that he wants to change the scene. But everything has changed in the last few hours, as De Jong’s non-sale has delayed the operation.
De Jong brings Bernardo Silva closer to PSG
Knowing that the Dutch footballer will not leave FC Barcelona this summer, Bernardo Silva’s entourage has begun to look for other options. There are many teams that have been interested in his situation, but everything seems to indicate that he will finally head to Paris. And it is that Luis Campos has already started negotiations to sign the footballer.
In this way, Frenkie De Jong has closed the doors of FC Barcelona to Bernardo Silva, who was crazy to work under Xavi. Now, everything seems to indicate that De Jong will not leave the club, as the Barça coach has repeatedly assured that he is an important player for him. However, the club wanted to obtain income to be able to undertake the operation.
