Bayern Munich reportedly eyeing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong

According to reports from Sky Germany, Bayern Munich are closely monitoring Barcelona’s midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

The interest in de Jong is not new, as Bayern had previously expressed interest in signing the Dutch midfielder last summer.

However, the move did not materialize due to reports of an internal decision at the club.

Despite Thomas Tuchel’s future at Bayern hanging in the balance, the club’s need for a defensive midfielder remains a priority.

Meanwhile, De Jong is said to fit their bill, and despite the challenges posed by his high salary demands, Bayern sees him as a valuable addition to their squad.

Although a transfer in the upcoming summer window seems unlikely due to financial constraints, Bayern might consider making a move for de Jong in the future, especially with his contract expiring in 2026.

This could potentially lead to a discounted deal for the talented midfielder.

Having missed out on the Bundesliga title, Bayern Munich are expected to be active in the coming transfer market.
