Liverpool have made an offer to FC Barcelona to sign their midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
According to the source, the Premier League giants have made an initial bid of £53million ($62.5million) for his services and a further £7million ($8.25million) in variables totalling around €71million ($70million).
Finishing second in the English Premier League last year and runners-up to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool can offer De Jong champions league football compared to Manchester United and also a realistic chance of silverware.
This season, however, Jurgen Klopp’s injury-ravaged squad with shortages in midfield has hardly come flying out of the tracks.
With a week to spare until the transfer window closes, Barca would also be interested in offloading De Jong so that they can make space on the wage bill and also launch a last-gasp attempt to sign Bernardo Silva from United’s rivals Manchester City.
While De Jong has been adamant to a move away from the Camp Nou and making a go of things under coach Xavi Hernandez, he has also been reluctant to reduce his salary by 50% to fall in line with a new policy under president Joan Laporta’s which sees no first team player take home more than €10mn ($9.95mn) a year.
Thanks to a deal struck under the administration of former president Josep Bartomeu in October 2020, where he extended his contract until 2026 but deferred part of his wages, De Jong is set to earn €18mn ($17.9mn) this season and then €88.58mn ($88.2mn) over the last four years of his arrangement.
