Arsenal Eye Frenkie De Jong for Summer Transfer

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie De Jong this summer. The Dutch international, who has been with Barcelona since 2019, has been a key figure in La Liga but has seen his playing time reduced under manager Hansi Flick.

With homegrown talents like Pedri, Gavi, and Marc Casado preferred in midfield, De Jong has made just four league starts this season.

Barcelona’s financial struggles have led to frequent speculation about De Jong’s future. The club is keen to resolve his contract situation, which expires in 2026, and has recently reopened talks with De Jong’s camp.

However, if a new deal is not agreed upon by June 30, Barcelona may explore sale opportunities to avoid losing a valuable asset for nothing.

Arsenal, along with other Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Manchester United, have been contacted regarding De Jong’s availability.

The Gunners are in need of midfield reinforcements, with Jorginho and Thomas Partey expected to depart at the end of the season.

De Jong’s potential move to Arsenal could be part of a two-signing plan for the club’s central midfield. Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi is also on Arsenal’s radar, with the Spaniard’s €60 million release clause making him a viable target.
