'I know he loves Barcelona' - Ronald Koeman talks Frenkie de Jong's future

Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman was asked about Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona ahead of Sunday’s clash with Spain.

De Jong is said to be ready to sign a contract extension with the Catalans which could keep him at the club until 2029.

There’s been plenty of speculation about De Jong and Barcelona in recent seasons, and Koeman says all he knows is that the midfielder loves playing for the club.

“The other day he couldn’t play the entire match due to the problem he was carrying, but he’s a great player and has recovered the best possible form,” he told reporteres.
