Frenkie de Jong was one of the most memorable players on the first day of the World Cup in Qatar. His team, the Netherlands, made their World Cup debut against Senegal, and although they ended up winning 0-2, it wasn’t until the very last minutes of the match that Oranje’s side managed to break a tie that seemed to be reaching towards the end of the match. And he did it, in large part, thanks to the performance of the Barcelona midfielder
Frenkie de Jong continues to make headlines about his future outside Barcelona
Throughout the match, his physical spread was enormous and he had some clear scoring chances, but he eventually became an assistant. Cody Jacobo made a wonderful save from him in the 84th minute to make it 0-1 before Davy Claassen’s penalty. With all that, De Jong is focused on his choice and certainly doesn’t want to think about anything else, but there is no doubt that the rumors surrounding his future must occupy part of his time
In addition, he went to the World Cup, attacking Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwith explosive statements in which he made it clear that he did not like how the club tried to transfer him last summer. He refused to leave, because he did not receive any offer that fulfilled all his desires, but he knows that there are still clubs that want to get him out of Barcelona. In addition to the usual Manchester United or Chelsea, there has been a resurgence of interest from Liverpool in recent days
Although it is reasonable to think that the Reds see him as an important promotion for next summer, it cannot be ruled out that they see with good eyes that the signing could take place during the winter market, once the World Cup in Qatar is over. Jurgen Klopp admitted already in the summer that he would have liked to strengthen himself more in this part of the field, but he is left without Jude Bellingham and without Tchoameni
Finally, they have only managed to sign Arthur Melo, who has yet to make his debut, who is injured and want to shorten his transfer and return to Juventus in January. Then, a void would occur which the Dutchman could fill. In Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez depends on him and does not want him to leave for anything in the world, but the dilemma remains the same as it was a few months ago. From an economic point of view, this would be a good operation for the club, but from a sporting point of view, it would mean the loss of one of the best players this season
