Barcelona’s use of De Jong questioned by Netherlands boss Koeman

The former Blaugrana star is not convinced that the promising midfielder is being played in his best position, which has led to questions of his form

Frenkie de Jong’s struggles for consistency at Barcelona are down to the Liga giants playing him out of position, says Ronald Koeman.

The Blaugrana were considered to have pulled off quite a coup when winning the race for a much-sought after signature in 2019.

A €75 million (£65m/$85m) agreement with Ajax was pushed through in the summer transfer window, with De Jong taking his considerable potential to Camp Nou.
