After a busy summer of shopping, Barca recently continued to receive good news from the top attacking star they are pursuing.
According to The Athletic reported yesterday, Barca sent a letter to De Jong informing him that his contract extension signed with the club in 2020 showed signs of illegality.
In addition, Barca also told De Jong that they want to cancel the current contract and return to the July 2019 agreement.
De Jong’s future at Camp Nou is increasingly uncertain as the club continually seeks to pressure him to leave.
While De Jong’s future at Camp Nou is still a big question mark, Barca’s recent target to replace him has made a strange move.
This notable move came in the context of many rumors that he was about to leave Man City to go to La Liga to play football.
Bernardo Silva’s move to buy a house in Barcelona sparked rumors that he was preparing to leave Man City.
Accordingly, Frenkie De Jong is the one being sold because he is the star with the highest commercial value at Barca.
Barca’s recent bad behavior with De Jong is said to be to force him to leave to make room for Silva.
