Xavi’s decision regarding De Jong’s future is revealed

Xavi reportedly gave the green light to Frenkie De Jong to leave in the summer transfer window.

The Barcelona coach is said to be pleased with the performances of the two young midfielders, Gavi and Pedri. Thus, he is open to allowing the former Ajax midfielder to leave.

Also, Franck Kessie will join Barca in the summer and Xavi will have ample options in midfield.

As a result, “Cuatro Deportes” has reported that Xavi allows De Jong to leave after the end of this season.

The Dutch midfielder remains linked with a move to Manchester United, to reunite with his former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag.

The 25-year-old has a valid contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2026.

He is estimated at 70 million euros in the transfer market.
