Liverpool has made contact with Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in preparation for a possible transfer.
De Jong appeared to be on his way out of Barcelona during the summer transfer window, with Fabrizio Romano confirming to CaughtOffside via his Substack column that Manchester United was in talks to sign him.
The Dutchman has established himself as an important member of Barcelona’s midfield, but he hasn’t started as many games this season as you’d think.
According to ESPN, Liverpool has now initiated contact with the Barcelona midfielder ahead of a potential move, and it’s the signing which could solve a lot of problems for Liverpool.
Due to their aging midfield, Jurgen Klopp is likely to prioritize a midfielder in the next two transfer windows. Thiago is one of Liverpool’s key midfielders, but he’s prone to picking up an injury or two.
However, Liverpool is likely to face stiff competition to secure the signature of De Jong. The report claims that both Manchester United and Chelsea are also interested in signing the Barcelona star, so it may be difficult for Liverpool to convince De Jong to make the move to Anfield.
