Liverpool FC’s management is considering a significant move to sign a player from within the ranks of the Spanish team Barcelona during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Liverpool is reportedly looking into the possibility of signing Frenkie de Jong as part of their plans to strengthen the team’s capabilities under the leadership of Dutch coach Arne Slot.
The consideration of signing De Jong comes amid Liverpool’s efforts to bolster their squad under the guidance of coach Slot.
According to a report published by the website “Football Spain”, Liverpool FC is closely monitoring Frenkie de Jong’s situation at Barcelona.
The report suggests that Liverpool coach Arne Slot is enthusiastic about the prospect of working with his young compatriot.
Slot believes that De Jong’s attributes align well with the team’s new tactical philosophy.
This speculation comes amid reports that negotiations between Barcelona and De Jong over a contract renewal have stalled, which could mean that the Catalan club will look to sell him next summer.
De Jong, 27, is a versatile central midfielder. His contract with Barcelona runs until June 2026.
Since joining Barcelona, De Jong has played in 222 matches across all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 21 assists for his teammates.
De Jong has achieved numerous accomplishments with Barcelona, most notably winning the La Liga title once, the Copa del Rey once, and playing in the UEFA Super Cup once.
