Frenkie de Jong can bring the color back to Barcelona’s football

All the noise surrounding Neymar’s possible homecoming and Antoine Griezmann’s supposed arrival this transfer market has stolen the spotlight away from arguably one of the greatest signings in Barcelona’s history. His name goes by Frenkie de Jong. The young Dutchman has officially put pen to paper, transferring for a total of 75 million euros, plus a further 11 million in variables and Blaugrana fans should be buzzing more than ever about this new addition to the team. The 22-year old is exactly what the Catalans need to get back on their feet, precisely the footballer that can prepare them to reconquer Europe after their last two dismal campaigns and absolutely the guy who can restore that attacking instinct into Barca’s play and tactics.
