Bayern Munich tipped to sign Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong
Reportedly monitored by Sky Germany, Bayern Munich are currently keeping a close eye on Frenkie de Jong‘s situation with Barcelona.
Previous reports suggested that the Bavarian giants expressed strong interest in acquiring the services of the Dutchman for the Allianz Arena during the previous summer transfer window.
Throughout his tenure at Barcelona, Frenkie de Jong showcased his prowess in 213 matches, contributing with 17 goals and 21 assists.
His international career with the Netherlands saw him feature in 54 matches, finding the net twice.
Recognized for his versatility on the field, De Jong’s capabilities extend across various positions including regista, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, holding midfielder, box-to-box midfielder, and even center-back. His adeptness in blending defensive solidity with creative playmaking has earned him widespread acclaim.
Despite possessing a robust squad, Bayern Munich continues to prioritize the acquisition of a defensive midfielder. Sources indicate that de Jong has resurfaced on the club’s radar, though the feasibility of securing his services this summer remains uncertain.
Euro Football Rumours
The substantial wage demands of the 26-year-old render an immediate transfer to Bavaria improbable at the onset of the forthcoming season. Nevertheless, given de Jong’s contract expiration in 2026, Bayern may contemplate a future bid to secure his signature at a discounted rate.
Anticipations are rife that Bayern will allocate substantial resources towards squad reinforcement during the upcoming summer transfer window, with aspirations to reclaim the Bundesliga title.
