Liverpool in Frenkie de Jong's sights: Dutch is Arne Slot's desire

The soap opera involving the future of Frenkie de Jong gained another chapter with the emergence of interest from Liverpool. The Dutch midfielder, who has been the subject of speculation in recent months, now has his name linked to the English club, which is looking to reinforce its midfield for next season.

The desire to have De Jong came from coach Arne Slot himself, who sees the Dutch player as the ideal profile to strengthen the team. The technical quality, vision of the game and the ability to disarm opponents are characteristics that please the coach, who is looking for a player with the same game control characteristics that the Dutchman has.

Possible new red midfield?

Barcelona, ​​in turn, faces a delicate financial situation and may be forced to sell some of its main players. De Jong, despite being one of the fans' favorites, is not immune to a possible departure. The player's high salary and the need to balance the club's accounts could mean that the Catalan board agrees to negotiate for the midfielder.

The transfer, however, will not be easy. Liverpool will have to face competition from other major European clubs, who are also keeping an eye on the player. Furthermore, Barcelona will demand high financial compensation to release De Jong.

Fans reaction

Liverpool fans are eagerly watching the negotiations unfold. The arrival of a player of Frenkie de Jong's caliber would be a great reinforcement for the team and would increase the chances of winning titles in the coming seasons.
