Hansi Flick does not want Barcelona to sell his expected departure

Barcelona has been thinking about next summer’s transfer market, and sporting director Deco, who will be in charge of the club’s activities, has considered both possible arrivals and departures. As far as the latter is concerned, Frenkie de Jong is one of those expected to leave, especially if he does not sign a new contract before the end of the season.

Barcelona is happy with Clément Lenglet’s performance at Atlético de Madrid and is no longer worried about not being able to sell him next summer. In fact, they hope to sell it for a good sum. @sport

De Jong’s current contract ends in 2026, meaning he would only have 12 months left by the time next summer arrives. Barcelona has no plans to lose him for free, so a way out would be sought if he does not renew.

However, Sport claims that Hansi Flick does not want to lose De Jong, whom he considers an excellent player despite the problems he has had on a personal level this season.

The idea is that de Jong becomes increasingly important for Barcelona as the season progresses, and this would increase his prominence. He could show how important he is for the club, which may end up changing its position in the face of his possible departure.
