The ridiculous offer that Liverpool would have planned to make to sign Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong is slowly starting to gain prominence in Hansi Flick 's scheme . The Arkel native, through good performances, has managed to put his name in the conversation for a place in the double pivot proposed by the German coach in his usual line-up, which initially seemed to be dominated by Marc Casadó , whose emergence in the first team made people think that he could be one of the German coach's irremovable players.

Now, despite Frenkie de Jong 's increased prominence at FC Barcelona during the 2024-25 season, this does not mean that the former Ajax player is no longer the subject of rumours about a possible departure from the Barça club.

This question remains relevant and is based on three main reasons: the Dutchman's market value ( €45M according to Transfermarkt ), the clubs interested in signing him and the undeniable fact that his contract renewal with the Catalan team (which ends on June 30, 2026) has not yet been finalised.

At this point, one of the clubs that appears on the list of those interested in acquiring Frenkie de Jong 's services is Liverpool , who even apparently have a proposal planned to add the '21' to their squad. According to the media outlet 'Fichajes.net', the 'Reds' would be considering making an initial offer of €35M to acquire the Dutch midfielder.

However, the previously mentioned source asserts that, so far, the proposal does not meet FC Barcelona's demands to let Frenkie de Jong go .

It now remains to be seen how this case develops, as Frenkie de Jong 's situation at FC Barcelona is currently full of uncertainty.

Although it seems unlikely that the Catalan team will accept a low offer for a top player like the Dutchman, if his renewal is not resolved, a scenario that seems increasingly feasible, it would not be surprising if the Barcelona team opted to accept a proposal below the expected value for the Willem II youth player , who is also of great interest in Saudi Arabia , to avoid losing him as a free agent in 2026.
