The latest social media activity on the part of Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong has turned heads on Saturday.
This comes after the Dutchman aimed something of a dig at German heavyweights Bayern Munich, over their ongoing pursuit of Nico Williams.
It is of course common knowledge at this point that both Bayern and Barca are actively seeking a deal for wide-man Nico this summer.
It is the latter, though, who are now considered clear favourites to land the 22-year-old, who favours a Camp Nou switch over any other destination.
🚨🛑 Nico #Williams has given FC Bayern a final rejection in the last 48 hours. There had been a new approach from Bayern’s side. He is determined to join FC Barcelona. A verbal agreement between Williams/Barca has been in place for several days.

As much featured a quote from 2022, surrounding Robert Lewandowski’s Barcelona move, accompanied by an updated caption regarding Nico.
And as alluded to above, quick to showcase his appreciation for the post was a current member of Hansi Flick’s midfield ranks, in Frenkie de Jong:
