Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong has once again distanced himself from a transfer to the Red Devils, claiming he wants to spend another 10 years at Barca.
A little about the topic
Frenkie de Jong was heavily linked with Manchester United during the summer, with head coach Erik ten Hag saying he is keen to reunite with the former Ajax star at Old Trafford. No deal has been struck despite those at the Camp Nou wanting to sanction sales and cut costs, with Frenkie de Jong now suggesting the player will be looking to spend the rest of his career with the La Liga heavyweights.
What did Frenkie de Jong say?
The player of the national team of the Netherlands told about his future plans that he is very happy in Barca. According to Frenkie de Jong, when he plays it’s great and in terms of life it’s perfect here. De Jong sees himself at Barca for as long as possible. Frenkie personally hopes for another eight to 10 years.
While he’s happy to stay at Barca, Frenkie took aim at some club officials who leaked details of his contract as speculation raged around him in the latest transfer window.
Frenkie de Jong added that the newspaper once published details from his contract. The Dutchman says he didn’t leak it and only one other side knew about it, so it must have been the club that did it. Suddenly, a letter appeared asking if his contract was still valid, because the previous president had made the contract.
Frenkie found it very annoying that the club did this, but he had no further impact on things. The Dutchman blames these people in Barcelona, who wished he was gone, but he has nothing to do with them. He believes that yes, they are Barcelona for him, because they lead the club. But he does not see them when he is in the club. According to Frenkie de Jong, he has nothing to do with them in his daily life.
