Frenkie de Jong’s time at Barcelona could be coming to an end following reports of a strained relationship with manager Hansi Flick.
According to Fichajes, the situation worsened after Barcelona’s win over Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup, where de Jong’s performance came under scrutiny.
Flick reportedly expressed frustration with de Jong’s impact during the match, despite his substitute appearance. While de Jong had a near-miss shot, a defensive error nearly led to a goal. Flick’s dissatisfaction suggests the midfielder might not fit into his tactical plans moving forward.
Sources close to the club claim that Flick has urged Joan Laporta to arrange for de Jong’s departure as soon as possible. With a contract running until 2026, de Jong’s future at Barcelona appears uncertain, and the club are reportedly willing to listen to offers.
If Barcelona decide to part ways with de Jong, his reduced market value could open the door for other European clubs to step in. This situation could have significant consequences for both Barcelona and de Jong’s career.
