Barcelona star attracting interest from Arsenal | OneFootball

Premier League giants Arsenal have been credited with an interest in the signature of a member of the midfield ranks at Barcelona.

The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and points towards Frenkie de Jong as the player in question.

The name of midfielder De Jong has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital for some time now.

This comes as the Dutchman continues to excel, turning around his previously precarious situation in the colours of Barcelona.

Now considered a key figure in Hansi Flick’s squad, the understanding is that the Blaugrana brass recently sent a fresh contract renewal proposal to De Jong and his agents.

This comes ahead of the expiration of his current terms in the summer of 2026.

As alluded to above, though, amid the ongoing negotiations between the parties, one of English football’s leading clubs are keeping a close eye on the situation.

As per Sport, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements in the middle of the park for next season, Arsenal consider De Jong a potential target.

The priority of the player himself is to stay put in Spain, but it now remains to be seen if the lure of Premier League football turns De Jong’s head.
