Juventus are among the clubs interested in signing Frenkie de Jong, with the Barcelona midfielder potentially being allowed to leave before the end of the season. The Dutchman remains an attractive option for the Bianconeri, who believe he could strengthen their midfield and improve the overall quality of their squad.
Barcelona could open the door to his departure in January, as the club reportedly believes it does not need to keep him in its long-term plans. However, De Jong is unlikely to leave cheaply, meaning any interested club will need to consider the financial demands involved in securing his signature.
Juventus continue to monitor De Jong
------------------------------------
Juventus have long been interested in De Jong and continue to view him as a player who could make a significant difference to their team. If Barcelona formally signals its willingness to sell, the Bianconeri is expected to be among the clubs competing for his services.
The Catalan club reportedly appears open to the possibility of letting the midfielder leave, although a transfer is not yet certain. Should that situation develop, Juventus will face competition from other teams hoping to secure a deal for a player who has attracted interest across Europe.
The Bianconeri are monitoring developments closely as they assess whether a move would be realistic. Their interest, however, does not mean the transfer will be straightforward.

Transfer fee and wages could prove difficult
--------------------------------------------
According to [Tuttojuve](https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/juventus-frenkie-de-jong-allontana-manchester-united-torna-carica-barcellona-chiede-65-796658), Juventus face two major obstacles in their pursuit of De Jong. The first is Barcelona’s reported asking price, which is said to exceed 50 million euros. Although that fee could present a challenge, it may not be the biggest barrier to completing a deal.
The midfielder’s salary is another significant concern. De Jong is among the highest earners in European football, and the report suggests Juventus could struggle to meet his wage expectations.
That financial issue could complicate negotiations even if the clubs can agree on a transfer fee. Juventus must determine whether they can accommodate both the cost of signing De Jong and his salary within their budget.
For now, the midfielder’s future remains uncertain. Juventus are interested, but any move will depend on Barcelona’s position and whether Juve can find a financial arrangement that works for all parties.
