Frenkie de Jong is understood to be keen to stay put at Barcelona despite the interest shown in his services from a host of clubs including Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp’s Merseysiders have been credited with a strong interest in landing the Holland international maestro from Camp Nou where he has failed to live up to the expectations surrounding his transfer back in 2019.
The 24-year-old former Ajax man also has the likes of Bayern Munich and Chelsea chasing his signature in the market ahead of the summer with Barca rumoured to be open to parting ways with the Dutchman for a sizable asking price.
De Jong, however, is determined to prove his worth to the new Barcelona manager Xavi and fight for his place on the team sheet alongside the up and coming midfield talents Gavi and Nico Gonzalez, claim reports from the Spanish news outlet Sport.
Liverpool could be forced to scout alternative names come the summer window with Jurgen Klopp on the lookout for a new signing to bolster his midfield ranks that lost Gini Wijnaldum to Paris Saint-Germain last time around.
