According to David Bernabeu via Sport Witness, Tottenham are planning to make a €60 million approach for Frenkie De Jong. Whether they test Barcelona’s resolve with such a proposal remains to be seen, although it’s unlikely the Catalans will sell at that price point.

Tottenham prepared to pay €60 million for Frenkie De Jong

Frenkie De Jong could become a significant market opportunity for many top clubs should he leave Barcelona. There are persistent rumours about an imminent exit from Catalonia, although there are big chances of the midfielder remaining with the club.

Spurs are reportedly prepared to pay around €60 million to test Barcelona’s resolve over the midfielder. The Catalans are protected by a contract with the midfielder until 2026, which might see them demand significantly more than the €60 million reported in the story. Does Tottenham have a chance with that kind of an offer for De Jong? Not a chance.

Barcelona’s future is still undecided for De Jong

There are many aspects to De Jong’s career at Barcelona despite their recent feud over unpaid wages. The Dutchman considers the move to Catalonianas a dream come true and appears perfectly settled with his family in the city. That was also the main reason for him not to join Manchester United a couple of years ago, and that might persist.

However, the financial situation at Barcelona could put a solid strain on the club to consider offers for some of their top stars, including De Jong. Hence, this time around, the pressure on the Dutchman could be telling enough for the midfielder to consider leaving for a big challenge, preferably in the Premier League.
