There has been some claims that the likes of Chelsea will be able to land long-term target Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona for just £17 million, which shows just how out of favour he is at the Camp Nou
CHELSEA have had a busier few transfer windows than many people expected, with a number of stars departing the club over the last few windows, and a number of players making their ways to Stamford Bridge.
There was also speculation in the media that a number of world class Barcelona stars were also players that Chelsea were interested in signing, but were unable to get any deals done as they wanted to stay at the Camp Nou.
However – The Catalan club continue to find themselves in a financial mess as they are still operating above the La Liga-imposed annual spending limit.
And according to a recent reports*,* the club is ready to sacrifice an important piece of the jigsaw. The decision will be taken by the board, who will look to sell among players who have had the least minutes.
Now reports from SPORT suggest that the Catalan giants are open to accepting offers as low as €20 million (£17m/$21m) for the once indispensable player. De Jong’s current deal with Barcelona runs until 2026, but the club is keen to avoid a situation where the midfielder enters the final year of his contract without an extension.

CHELSEA have been signing some players over the last few windows and adding players to the side that have been making a real difference to the side. If there is a chance to sign De Jong – they should take it.
He is a world class player that could be the ideal signing for the club – as he still has many years left in the game and has still not hit his prime.
If the reports are true and Chelsea can get him for £40 million – he could be a great signing for the Blues that is for sure.
