Sorry, but Frankie De Jong is shit for me. He clearly a finished player, and the comeback of him won't change the situation a lot. He has done nothing since joining the Camp Nou in 2019. He has missed every season due to injury. I think it's wrong to call him one of the best midfielders. He is not comparable to the best, like Kevin De Bruyne, though, his wages are twice KDB's.
I think Barcelona have two choices of over De jong, Sell or bench him. He offers little to the club and his salary is obviously burdening them. The better Barcelona to get rid of him asap once he's fit.
De Jong spent seasons with more injured than on the field and I think that will happen every season, so Barcelona should have a strong reason to let De Jong go. But unfortunately De Jong is very stubborn and he refuses to be sold to any club (the agreement between Barcelona and Man United failed to happen because of his stubbornness). De Jong is even willing to take a pay cut so he can stay at Barcelona.
