In recent reports, it has been revealed that FC Barcelona has put a price tag on midfielder Frenkie de Jong, adding another layer of uncertainty to his future at the club. The talented Dutch player has been the subject of speculation and debate within the football world, as he has yet to make a decision regarding his next move. With his current contract extending until 2026, Barcelona awaits his verdict, but they have made it clear that they will not hold him back against his will if he chooses to leave.
According to information obtained by Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has set the asking price for De Jong at approximately €100 million, a figure they deem fair given his quality and potential. While this may seem like a considerable sum, it is argued that it falls in line with recent high-profile midfield transfers.
The interest from Premier League clubs, such as Chelsea and Manchester United, has been mentioned, with rumors suggesting they could be willing to pay a significant amount for the services of the talented midfielder. There are even suggestions that Manchester City, who previously showed interest in De Jong back in 2019, could rekindle their pursuit.
In recent days, it has been revealed that De Jong had already considered leaving Barcelona last summer due to interest from Manchester United. However, the player expressed his desire to succeed with the Catalan club.

A recent offer from Tottenham Hotspur, valued at around €60 million, including add-ons, along with a four-year contract for De Jong, has been reported by Jijantes. However, Barcelona rejected this proposal, stating that they are looking for a more substantial offer.
De Jong's future remains uncertain, with several options on the table. Meanwhile, the player continues his journey at Barcelona, where he has already achieved success, including winning the league, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup since his arrival in 2019.
