Barcelona player has “frustrated” the board with his attitude

Barcelona board have been frustrated by a player’s attitude, per a recent report.

Frenkie de Jong’s time at Barcelona has long moved past its peak, with the Dutch midfielder increasingly seen in a negative light by segments of the Spanish media.

Nearly 18 months away from a potential exit, murmurs of dissatisfaction about de Jong persist within the club.

After five months sidelined with an ankle injury, de Jong’s return has been underwhelming, barring an impactful 45 minutes against Real Madrid.

Concerns over his performances and future remain, with Diario AS reporting frustrations within the club regarding his attitude on and off the field.

The Dutchman has yet to respond to a contract proposal made earlier this year, leaving some to feel his dedication pales in comparison to players like Fermín López, Marc Casadó, or Gavi.

While Hansi Flick values him, de Jong’s perceived lack of aggression in the coach’s high-intensity pressing system could accelerate his departure if no progress is made.
