Manchester City is reportedly one of the clubs approached about a potential summer transfer for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The Netherlands international, with less than 18 months left on his current contract at Camp Nou, has been frequently linked with a move away, having found it difficult to secure a regular spot in the starting lineup this season. De Jong missed the initial weeks of the new season due to an ankle injury and has only started four La Liga games since regaining full fitness. Although Barcelona remains eager to retain De Jong, his future at Camp Nou is uncertain, as his contract is set to expire in 2026. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United have all reportedly been contacted regarding a possible summer transfer for the Dutch player.

Frenkie de Jong's situation at FC Barcelona is being closely watched by Manchester City. With De Jong's contract talks at an impasse, Barcelona may sell him if they cannot agree on new terms. De Jong has been struggling with injuries and has not played much this season, yet he still draws a high salary. Coach Hansi Flick wants to keep him, but the club might decide to sell.

De Jong has emerged as a key target for Man City on their search for a replacement for Rodri. (Fichajes - Spain)
