"In fact, the Dutchman's performances are also naturally attracting the attention of other big clubs from around Europe. This is apparent from a report from Fichajes, which claims that Bayern Munich have identified De Jong as a priority target as they plan a significant midfield overhaul under Vincent Kompany. The German champions are preparing a €50 million offer as they look to reshape their engine room following the expected departure of Leon Goretzka."
"Kompany sees the Dutchman as the ideal profile to bring control, authority, and clean progression from deep, potentially forming a high-level partnership with Joshua Kimmich at the base of midfield. At 28, De Jong is viewed in Munich as a player entering his prime, capable of leading transitions in a highly attacking setup while also allowing for elite rotation with Aleksandar Pavlovic across a demanding season."
"aware that interest from other top clubs could drive the price up later in the summer after the FIFA World Cup. From Barcelona's point of view, however, this story carries very little weight at present. Despite ongoing financial difficulties and the clear need to raise funds to reinforce three priority positions, namely centre back, the full back areas, and a centre forward, the Catalan club is not expected to entertain any move to part ways with Frenkie de Jong."

At 28, De Jong is seen as entering his prime, able to lead transitions and rotate with Aleksandar Pavlovic. Bayern aim to act early to avoid price inflation, while Barcelona are not expected to sell despite financial needs.
