De Jong asking price slashed as Barcelona prepare to sell

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to sell Frenkie de Jong at a discounted rate after falling out of favour under Hansi Flick.

The Catalan club sought to extend his contract, which runs until June 30, 2026, during the previous season, but according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the renewal efforts have since been shelved due to a lack of response from the player.
