Transfer Breakdown
Liverpool are preparing for a busy summer and have identified Frenkie de Jong as a potential midfield target, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the next season.
The 27-year-old Netherlands international has been a key player for Barcelona, but ongoing financial constraints at the club could force them to consider selling their high-value assets.
Why This Move?
For Liverpool, De Jong would provide a world-class midfield presence, helping to replace the departed Jordan Henderson and Fabinho while complementing Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
For Barcelona, selling De Jong could help them fund new signings and relieve financial pressure.
