Finances could force Barca star out of the club
Barcelona may be forced to sell Frenkie de Jong to raise money for the slender club coffers. The German giants Bayern Munich are lurking for a trade, writes Goal. The Dutchman switched to the Spanish big club in 2019 from his childhood club Ajax Amsterdam. In his debut season with the Catalans, he played a total of 42 matches, but it is the global Corona crisis that has also hit the Spanish economy, and it may force them to sell one of their best players. Goal even believes that even if Lionel Messi leaves the club this summer, they will still be forced to a sale of one or more stars. In 2018, Bayern Munich scouted both Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt in Ajax, but both players ended up elsewhere. However, the German masters have been such great admirers of de Jong that they remain interested in a trade. However, a deal will probably only be relevant this summer, and then much may have changed with the Spanish big team.
