Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong took to the pitch against Real Betis on Saturday hoping to calm his team’s spirits and establish control for a 1-0 lead, but ended up committing a crucial penalty just minutes later. to receive the captain’s armband. .
According to Sport, de Jong left the field very affected by the events of the match. He struggled to overcome his mistake and apologized to some of his teammates after the game. Knowing that he is under pressure due to his contract situation, de Jong is trying to remain calm, work hard and return to his best level, something that has eluded him until now.
The same medium has published a separate report that once again calls into question the Dutchman’s decision-making. Earlier in the season, while still recovering from his series of ankle sprains, there was talk that De Jong was going against the club’s advice and avoiding surgery.

Barcelona are now said to have reports that medical staff previously recommended he have surgery on his ankle, and he has done so again. They have told him that it is the best way to return to his best level, since de Jong is still affected by his ankle while playing. In light of both his decision regarding the injury and his lack of interest in renewing his contract, the board of directors and the sporting department (Sporting Director Deco) are at the end of their rope in their relationship with De Jong.
It was reported over the weekend that coach Hansi Flick would be against the idea of selling De Jong anywhere, considering he is a valuable player with unique skills. However, the club does not appear to share that opinion and will reportedly buy De Jong for as little as €20 million if he does not come to the negotiating table.
