There’s less than a week to go in the summer transfer window and Frenkie de Jong’s future is still very much up in the air. Reports in England carried by Mundo Deportivo have connected the Barcelona midfielder with a move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The Premier League side have started the season poorly, failing to win any of their opening three games and seeing their midfield overran in defeat to Manchester United last Monday. Bringing in a player of De Jong’s calibre would strengthen them.
And Barcelona would be amenable to a sale. They’re yet to register Jules Kounde, who they signed from Sevilla earlier in the summer, and need to reduce their wage bill to do so. Getting De Jong’s wages off the books would help them to do that.
And it’s not as if the 25-year-old is irreplaceable. Barcelona are well-stocked in the midfield positions and De Jong has failed to live up to the potential he showed as a youngster at Ajax. His three years at Camp Nou have been largely underwhelming.

LIVERPOOL PLAYED WELL LAST YEAR WITHOUT MANE AND SALAH WHEN THEY WENT TO AFCON SO I DON'T THINK MANE IS THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS LIVERPOOL ARE NOT INFORM AT THE MOMENT BUT THEY WILL BOUNCE BACK

we're in a situation we were in 2 seasons ago when we had alot of injuries in defense as well as in defense and at that we had MANE in the team but still we went 7 games without winning and this is exactly the same situation we're in now and saying that Liverpool is missing based on these 3games is not a realistic analysis.lets try by all means not to use feelings to analyze what's happening now we all are not happy that he left but the thing is players come and players go let's stick together as fans fortunes will change soon hopefully this weekend againkst bornmouth
