Frenkie de Jong’s situation at Barcelona has taken an unexpected twist. Once pivotal under Xavi, the Dutch midfielder now finds himself marginalized under Hansi Flick.
With his future uncertain, interest in the 27-year-old is growing, particularly from the Premier League, where Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing him.
According to Fichajes.net, Tottenham may be an ideal destination for De Jong.
Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have emphasized style and squad depth, and De Jong’s ball retention, vision, and two-way play would significantly enhance their midfield.
His ability to control tempo and contribute defensively aligns perfectly with Tottenham’s ambitions.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, managed by Ruben Amorim, remain in pursuit of De Jong. Despite their midfield needs, Fichajes.net suggests United’s system might not be conducive to maximizing his potential.
Spurs, however, could offer the platform he needs to thrive at this stage of his career.
