Bayern Munich and PSG interested in signing frustrated Barcelona midfielder

Barcelona could have growing concerns over the future of midfield mainstay, Frenkie de Jong, amid growing claims of the Dutchman’s frustrations.

De Jong, who has been at the club for almost three years now, has had his share of ups and downs at Camp Nou. After some early stutters this season, he had looked fairly well-settled in Xavi’s team and has grown into a key operator.

But, recent performances have not been up to the mark, with his display against Rayo Vallecano, in particular, drawing ire.

During the same game, de Jong was the first to be subbed off by the manager, to which he reacted poorly and headed straight to the locker room.

Now, journalist Santi Ovalle is claiming that the Netherlands international was unhappy with Xavi’s decision to take him off first. De Jong is believed to be frustrated as he does not understand why he is always the first player to be subbed off.

It has now led to him wondering if the club have any problems with him, in which case he would consider his future at Camp Nou, even though he has always wanted to stay put at Barcelona.

If there is a possibility of an exit, de Jong will have no shortage of suitors, with the update from Santi Ovalle claiming that the former AFC Ajax already has received interest from European giants like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain.

Both Bayern and PSG have been long-term admirers of the 24-year-old Netherlands international and it is not a surprise that they are monitoring his situation at Barça.

At the same time, de Jong is also attracting interest from Manchester United, where his former Ajax manager Erik ten Hag is seeking a reunion next season. However, the lack of Champions League football at Old Trafford would be a deal-breaker.
