The rumours that Frenkie de Jong is being courted by other top European teams just won’t go away.
A ballpark figure of €70m has been mooted as a potential transfer fee, and whilst that would represent a small loss for the Blaugranes, it wouldn’t be a bad price to bank - assuming Joan Laporta allows Xavi to reinvest it in the squad and assuming that the coach changes his mind on a player who he said ahead of the game he wants to keep for a long time.
With each passing week the Dutchman’s level is dipping, and that really isn’t acceptable at this level.
