The Spanish newspaper Relevo reports that Bayern may resume negotiations for De Jong this summer. The Gray Tigers estimate that De Jong will be acquired for sixty to seventy million euros. In order to balance the accounts and avoid financial difficulties, Barca requires funds. Being sold will additionally contribute to a substantial reduction in salary expenses, given that De Jong, who is 27 years old, is among the most highly compensated players for Barcelona.

PANORAMA

De Jong has established himself in Barcelona and is ecstatic to be playing for the club of his dreams. He might be cоmpelled to depart, however, if Bayern fulfills Barca’s demand for payment. De Jong previously denied rumors that he was leaving Barcelona.

DO YOU KNOW?

De Jong nearly left Catalonia for Manchester United in the summer of 2014, after Erik ten Hag, former mentor at Ajax and current Manchester United manager, spent months trying to convince him to transfer to MU. Particularly when Barca owed unpaid wages, he insisted on remaining, and he was instrumental in their La Liga triumph the previous season.
