Frenkie de Jong Eyes Barcelona Exit in January

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is growing frustrated with a lack of opportunities at the club, says Sport.

De Jong, 25, was linked with a move away all summer and Barca agreed an €85 million deal for him to move to Manchester United, though it fell through amid a conflict over his deferred wages.

The Netherlands international has not started many of Barca’s important games so far this season, with manager Xavi opting for Sergio Busquets, Gavi and Pedri in midfield. And, with El Clasico against Real Madrid arriving this weekend, De Jong’s future will be in the spotlight again if he doesn’t play a major role.

Sources have told ESPN that Man United manager Erik ten Hag — who managed De Jong while in charge at Ajax — won’t rule out the possibility of making another bid next summer and there is still a feeling at Old Trafford that the midfielder could be convinced to move to Manchester.
