Tottenham are hoping to sign Frenkie De Jong for around €60 million, although the chances of Barcelona selling for that price are low.
According to David Bernabeu via Sport Witness, Tottenham are planning to make a €60 million approach for Frenkie De Jong. Whether they test Barcelona’s resolve with such a proposal remains to be seen, although it’s unlikely the Catalans will sell at that price point.
Tottenham prepared to pay €60 million for Frenkie De Jong
Frenkie De Jong could become a significant market opportunity for many top clubs should he leave Barcelona. There are persistent rumours about an imminent exit from Catalonia, although there are big chances of the midfielder remaining with the club.
It’s understood that Barcelona are considering a sale as De Jong has not penned a new contract that was offered three months ago. With the financial turmoil at the club, which could see them study big offers that arrive for the midfielder, should they place him on their sales list?
The Barcelona mainstay has plenty of suitors, as, naturally, there are plenty of clubs keeping close tabs on his situation. Meanwhile, Tottenham are also in the chase and will make an approach should they get encouraging signs to bring the midfielder.
Spurs are reportedly prepared to pay around €60 million to test Barcelona’s resolve over the midfielder. The Catalans are protected by a contract with the midfielder until 2026, which might see them demand significantly more than the €60 million reported in the story. Does Tottenham have a chance with that kind of an offer for De Jong? Not a chance.
Barcelona’s future is still undecided for De Jong
There are many aspects to De Jong’s career at Barcelona despite their recent feud over unpaid wages. The Dutchman considers the move to Catalonianas a dream come true and appears perfectly settled with his family in the city. That was also the main reason for him not to join Manchester United a couple of years ago, and that might persist.
However, the financial situation at Barcelona could put a solid strain on the club to consider offers for some of their top stars, including De Jong. Hence, this time around, the pressure on the Dutchman could be telling enough for the midfielder to consider leaving for a big challenge, preferably in the Premier League.
