Barcelona star ‘will be for sale’ next summer, if he does not sign a new contract | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona are ready to turn up the heat on midfield star Frenkie de Jong, when it comes to his future with the club.

That’s according to Relevo, who have revealed that, should the Dutch international continue to drag his heels when it comes to signing a new contract, he will be placed on the transfer market.

The Barcelona brass have long been working to tie De Jong down to fresh terms, with a contract proposal understood to have been on the table for some time now.

The details of the offer, however, are evidently not to the liking of the 27-year-old himself, with Joan Laporta and co. keen for De Jong to reduce his salary, by spreading the money he is owed across additional years.

De Jong, in turn, appears content to sit tight, in the hopes of a more agreeable proposal coming his way.

The Camp Nou hierarchy, though, are altogether less open to such a scenario.

In turn, as per the aforementioned Relevo:

‘If De Jong does not agree to renew, next summer he will be made available for transfer,’ ahead of the expiration of his current contract 12 months later.
