Frenkie de Jong's Agent Denies Saudi Move

Frenkie de Jong's future at FC Barcelona remains uncertain as speculation mounts over a potential move to the Saudi Pro League due to his declining position in the squad and stalled contract negotiations. His agent, Ali Dursun, initially made inquiries about the Saudi league and lifestyle, but quickly dismissed rumors of an imminent transfer, asserting that De Jong is committed to Barcelona and aims to excel there. The Dutch midfielder, whose contract runs until 2026, faces pressure from the club to either renew at a reduced salary or risk being placed on the transfer market. Barcelona has expressed willingness to retain De Jong but only if he agrees to a pay cut, reflecting financial constraints. Meanwhile, De Jong's market value has notably decreased by €30 million, complicating his situation further. As the season progresses, more developments regarding his contract and potential offers from Saudi clubs are expected.
