Barcelona's plans to offload Frenkie de Jong stem from stalled extension talks, significant salary costs, and reduced midfield reliance due to emerging talent.
De Jong's situation has worsened with injuries and lack of game time under Hansi Flick, leading to speculation about his exit in the summer.
Despite receiving hefty wage demands during negotiations, De Jong remains under contract until 2026, complicating potential transfers amid a desire to reduce costs.
Reports suggest Barca may overlook a transfer fee for De Jong this summer, focusing instead on freeing up significant annual financial commitments.
