In October,SPORT reported that Manchester United, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have all expressed interest in Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, with Paris Saint-Germain also keeping a close eye on his situation.
Although de Jong remains committed to Barcelona, PSG’s history of signing players from the Catalan club could make them a potential suitor as the summer of 2025 approaches.
PSG have recently strengthened their midfield with players like Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, and João Neves. Last month,journalist Ferran Correas suggested that Barcelona might consider selling de Jong next summer.

Spanish outlet Fichajes reports that Ryan Gravenberch is involved in a potential move that could make waves in the winter transfer market.
The report claims that Real Madrid is keen on signing Liverpool’s standout Dutch midfielder, who plays a pivotal role in their setup.
If the move happens, it could trigger a domino effect, with Liverpool revealed to be considering de Jong as a potential replacement.
Given Barcelona’s ongoing financial struggles and de Jong’s significant wages—around £300,000 per week—the Catalan club might be open to selling him for the right offer.
De Jong has yet to sign a contract extension, as his current deal expires in 2026, and at some point, Barcelona might consider selling him if there’s no agreement between the two sides to allow the club to secure the highest transfer fee possible.
The report doesn’t reveal how much Barcelona could ask for, butTransfermarkt puts the player’s transfer value at €60 million.
