After the historic transfer of Figo from Barça to Real, another saga could shake Spain.
In July 2000, Portuguese superstar Luis Figo surprised the football world by leaving FC Barcelona to join historic rivals Real Madrid. A sensational transfer estimated at 60 million euros, which made history.
According to Central Defensethe Madrid club could well repeat a similar move during this summer transfer window. Indeed, the president of the Casa Blanca, Florentino Pérez, would be closely monitoring the situation of Frenkie De Jong, whose profile he particularly appreciates.
Perez waits for a sign
Having arrived at the Camp Nou in 2019, the Dutch midfielder has been regularly announced as leaving every summer for the past two seasons, despite a contract that runs until June 2026. In this context, the Merengues boss would consider making a concrete offer for the 27-year-old player.
However, before embarking on this operation, the Madrid manager would first like to ensure that Barça are ready to part ways with De Jong. Currently valued at 70 million euros on the transfer market according to Transfermarktthe Batavian, often slowed down by injuries this season, played 30 matches and scored 2 goals in the Catalan jersey.
