Barcelona to block Frenkie de Jong exit amid Manchester United and Liverpool interest

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is prepared to prevent Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong from leaving the club during the January transfer window, according to reports from Ekrem Konur on social media.

The Catalan side are unwilling to weaken their squad depth mid-season and therefore do not intend to open negotiations with either Manchester United or Liverpool, both of whom are reportedly interested in the player.

De Jong joined Barcelona in the summer of 2019 and remains under contract until the end of June 2029. His current market value is estimated at 25 million euros.
