Frenkie de Jong Transfer from FC Barcelona to FC Bayern München

Bayern Munich have expressed interest in Frenkie de Jong. Barcelona are considering selling him for €70m due to financial pressures. Manchester United and Chelsea are also interested, and Paris Saint-Germain is monitoring the situation.

Barcelona has reportedly given Frenkie de Jong a contract ultimatum, indicating that he needs to agree to the terms of a new contract before the January transfer window if he wishes to remain at the club. His existing contract is due to expire in 2026, and there have been complications regarding the terms of any new agreement. De Jong is owed a substantial amount in wages that were deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and negotiations have reached an impasse. Bayern Munich has expressed interest in acquiring De Jong's services.

Frenkie de Jong's future at FC Barcelona has caught the attention of several major European clubs. Bayern Múnich is keeping a close watch on the developments since De Jong's contract with Barcelona is set to expire in 2026. Barcelona is attempting to negotiate a contract extension to modify his salary, aiming to ease the club's financial strain. Nevertheless, the talks have not advanced as anticipated, and if an agreement is not reached shortly, the club may be compelled to list De Jong for transfer in January.

Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong remains on Bayern Munich's radar as they search for a new midfielder.

Bayern is not convinced about signing De Jong. There were rumors that Bayern might make another attempt to get him in the summer, but according to Bild, De Jong's name was discussed internally but the sports managers do not see the Dutchman as a true six. He feels more comfortable as an interior midfielder, but Bayern does not really need him there. Barcelona would still be willing to let the midfielder go in the summer if it receives an attractive transfer fee of between 70 and 80 million euros.

If he does not sign a new contract, Bayern would try to forward Kimmich to Barcelona and get Dutchman De Jong or Uruguayan stopper Araujo in addition.

Frenkie de Jong is injured until the end of the season, but could leave during the next summer transfer window. Financial situation of FC Barcelona could push the management to sell several major players. Bayern Munich recently came to inquire about the Dutch midfielder. The Barcelona management would be interested in a good sale. A price of 60 to 70 million euros could be enough to convince the Catalan management to give the green light for the departure of the former Ajax to Munich. However, the player does not really want to leave Catalonia. Very comfortable in his professional and personal life, the 26-year-old player has already refused proposals in the past and could do the same this summer.

Bayern Munich have also shown recent reported interest in Frenkie de Jong. This could potentially complicate the situation for Manchester United.
