Barcelona star’s agent arrives in the city ahead of Rayo clash | OneFootball

Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong’s agent has touched down in Catalunya’s capital, ahead of an expected round of talks with the club’s board.

That’s according to journalist Carlos Monfort of Jijantes, who has on Sunday provided an insight into the situation.

The name of Dutch international De Jong has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines in the Spanish media over recent weeks.

This comes with the former Ajax man having re-established himself as a key member of Hansi Flick’s squad.

Now back fully fit and firing, De Jong appears to have usurped youngster Marc Casadó in the midfield pecking order in Barcelona.

As much has given rise to fresh chatter surrounding the future of the 27-year-old, who, until recently, had been widely expected to be on the move in the summer.

This comes ahead of the expiration of his current contract terms in 2026.

All of a Blaugrana persuasion will in turn no doubt be interested to learn of De Jong’s representative arriving in Barcelona, for an expected upcoming meeting with Deco.

As per the aforementioned Carlos Monfort:

‘Frenkie De Jong’s agent has landed in Barcelona this afternoon. He is expected to go to the stadium tomorrow to watch Barça-Rayo. He has not yet met with Deco, who has travelled to Porto today for personal reasons.’
