Frenkie de Jong speaks out as to where he wants to play next season
In the ESPN interview Frenkie de Jong stated, “I’d prefer to stay at Barcelona, I’ve said that before. Barcelona have been the club of my dreams since I was a kid… If other clubs call, I’ll take the call, of course, but I don’t want to talk about rumors anymore. I feel good in Barcelona. Contacts? There is no agreement or anything official.”
