Barcelona is becoming increasingly irritated with Frenkie de Jong’s performance on and off the field, according to a recent AS report. There is a perception that, in spite of his importance, he lacks the intensity and aggression that other players exhibit. Many people therefore think that de Jong hasn’t yet lived up to the high standards that his large transfer fee established.
De Jong’s decision to not extend his contract, which expires in 2026, has increased tensions off the field. They are open to selling him next summer because they are worried that he may be intending to quit the team on a free transfer when his contract ends.
De Jong Under Suspicion Again
As FC’s head coach, one of Hansi Flick’s major problems is getting Frenkie de Jong back to his best. The Dutch midfielder, who has exceptional qualities that complement his style of play, is a vital member of his team, as the German has never concealed. They believe that he lacks the aggression and energy displayed on the field by players like FermÃn, Casadó, or Gavi, who have demonstrated a level of play that justifies his high price tag. His refusal to extend his contract, which expires in 2026, has raised worry off the field because it is believed he wants to depart for free.
Flick is certain that Frenkie de Jong will not be an exception to the rule, and he does not want to abandon the team after successfully enhancing the performance of every player. He appears to need some time to regain his peak form, though, as games go.
