Barcelona is having a fantastic season so far, following a series of positive results achieved under the leadership of German coach Hansi Flick, who is guiding the team back to an era of strength and dominance.
Barcelona currently leads the La Liga standings with 33 points, 9 points ahead of their rival Real Madrid, with a postponed match for the white team against Valencia.
However, press reports have revealed a shocking surprise for Barcelona fans regarding the future of one of the team’s stars, whose position at the Catalan club is now in jeopardy.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper Sport, there are doubts about the future of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong under Hansi Flick’s leadership at Barça.
The newspaper added that De Jong’s performance has not been convincing to the German coach, especially after his disappointing showing in the last match against Espanyol in La Liga.
The report further explained that Hansi Flick’s priority list focuses on the trio of Casado, Pedri, and Olmo, along with Gavi, followed by De Jong, which has caused some discomfort for the Dutch player. The club is also reportedly considering selling him due to his high salary and frequent injury problems.
