There are rumors that Arsenal wants to buy the 26-year-old playmaker Frenkie de Jong, so Barcelona will ask for at least €80 million to sell him.

That’s what Fichajes says: Frenkie de Jong will cost at least €80 million this summer if he leaves. The 26-year-old Barcelona regular has a lot of Premier League suitors, but Arsenal is the team most interested in signing him before the new window opens.

 

Price for Frenkie de Jong at Barcelona

Before the summer transfer window opens, Barcelona is not in the best of shapes because they have a lot of money problems that need to be fixed. La Liga is also putting pressure on them to cut costs and keep their pay bill low. This could mean that they have to sell some of their highest-paid players, like Frenkie de Jong.

 

There is a chance that both De Jong and Robert Lewandowski could leave the club. Lewandowski makes more money than De Jong. There have been many times when the player said that he is happy at City and loves playing for his dream team, but things could change in the summer.

 

Some big Premier League teams are interested, with Arsenal being the most important of them. Barcelona has set the price they want to get for De Jong: at least €80 million. He is a key player for the club and is 26 years old. The price range makes sense for some English teams, like the Gunners, who might think about making a move for that price or a similar one.

 

On the other hand, Barcelona hadn’t decided yet whether to cut guys like De Jong from their team because Xavi Hernandez saw him as an important part of it. He is said to have been offered a deal, but he hasn’t signed it yet. So, the club is willing to sell him if he doesn’t commit to his future, which would be good for Premier League teams that want to sign him.

 

Does Arsenal really want De Jong?

There are a few other midfielders that Arsenal could look at, but De Jong might be the best choice. Some of the names that have been linked to them are more holding midfielders, but Arteta might change his mind about bringing someone to sit at the base of his middle if he gets his hands on the 26-year-old Barcelona star.

 

People also think it’s a good thing that Jorginho’s deal was renewed, but they’re not sure if Arteta will do the same with Thomas Partey. It would be great if all of those players could work together to make the Spaniard’s center perfect, and De Jong would give him a strong foundation for the future.
