Where could Frenkie de Jong go if he decided to leave Barcelona? | ESPN FC Extra Time 

Arsenal makes the most sense. He would work perfectly in the midfield next to Rice and Ødegaard. He provides the defensive solidity, ball progression and help with build up to play more as a 6 next to Rice in tougher games and the creativity to play more advanced in the left 8 against low blocks. He’s also a fan of Arsenal and has talked about wanting to go to arsenal before.

So de jong wants to leave Barca because he feels disappointed and is going to end up at Chelsea or United 😭😭😭😭he would rather retire

Ale moreno is such a funny guy. Are we going home baby 😂😂😂

I think one of the problems with Barca is that they get too attached to the past. They allow nostalgia to influence their decisions too much. They want to plat the way they did in the glory days and they completely reject the idea of trying something new or different.

Ale doesn't understand why Xavi actually wants to leave Barcelona. Laporta and Deco created a toxic environment. It is really surprising how little attention is given on this show to that elephant in the room. Xavi's key signings are papered over the club gushes money when those two want a player things can't be expected to go well.

Just imagine having Ale and Henry in the same room discussing football.

Frankie is the glue holding the team together who knows who will replace him

Arsenal would be a good move for him, in my opinion

Frenkie is a player I love watching Ever since he destroyed us 4-1 I’ve respected him a lot

Baybeh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love this show so much, I really do😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Kay is a treasure, and this was another amazing Extra Time :D

0:04 Kay resembles Griezmann around the eyes. Plus Ale with his turn of pace again 😆

Frenkie goes to Man City, Pep is a big fan of Frenkie

I think a second yellow deems red if need be ,but if it's a second yellow yet not a strict send of ,goto a sin bin

Arsenal is the perfect fit. A midfield trio of Rice, De Jong, and Odeegard fits together.

If Frenkie leaves Barca it’s because he has the ambition to win trophies. So the teams in a position to do so would be more likely. United and Chelsea?? No chance.

He is not going anywhere, least of all to a finished club like Man Utd which has won one Crapabao cup in 5 years.

Why would De jong go to Arsenal? He has mentioned that he is a fan, citing the Ajax-Arsenal-Barca route a lot of Dutch players followed. Arsenal also have Declan Rice, a top 2 DM in the world. He would finally play in a balanced team with proper structure for him to do his thing. Finances will play a part but Arsenal are very well positioned to get him. City will be in for him too but they have made investments in that position with Nunes and Kovacic. If I were city I'd bin Kova and go all out for Frenkie. I pray that doesn't happen but there is no way City will let Arsenal have a free run at FDJ.

Ale explains things so well. Really enjoy him. And of course he’s rooting for the Chiefs, yay. 😊

I'd love to see de Jong something totally not predicted and expected, like going to Arsenal or Liverpool. Anyway, the reason why de Jong would like to leave is because of those issues or because there is an interesting club showing their interest, like Bayern Munich or an Italian club. Do I think de Jong will leave Barcelona? No way! Besides these issues are happening way to early to think about de Jong wanting out. His contract runs till '25 with an option for another year. He has a massive wage, and expected is those wage shouldn't be lowered. He is part of the first team, first name on the sheet is de Jong. Deco, Director of Football in Barcelona, doesn't want to sell de Jong. In summary, it would be quite a surprise watch de Jong leaving Barcelona this next transferwindow....

Imagine Brian Clough,Bill Skankly, Ferguson at Miami? Two extremes

Stevie is ONE HUNDRED Percent right about pineapple. The acidity and the sweetness is a beautiful compliment to meat toppings like pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon. I've previously worked as a professional pizza cook at multiple restaurants and pineapple is consistently one of the most popular toppings.

The only team i could possibly see de jong leaving Barca for would be city. Bayern could be a great move, but they are not doing great either. Barca fans love him, i Think the Best thing for him would be to stay

Stevie; "Thats simple than the "simple" 😆😆

7:40 this right here is what's wrong with the barcelona style (and technically pep's as well but he has infinite funds and can basically buy/develop any profile he wants and even pep still can't get the exact players he wants for his ideal system). it's not that the barca style doesn't work anymore. if anything, it would work extremely well in this time period because players are slowly starting to reliant on being physical again because they don't have enough of a technical ability to dominate otherwise. it's more that the more recent heavy coaching influence and heavy emphasis on systems means players who are able to *efficiently* make passes or score goals are being put into the spotlight while players who are a bit nuanced and are simply hard to play against with the ball in their feet are fading into obscurity. there aren't that many top clubs anymore, and much less lower tier clubs, that value those players, and so those players never really get a chance to shine for even development clubs to pick them up. that being said, the barcelona style has been picked up as the spanish style more recently and many spanish academies still do prefer that kind of technical prowess, so the safest way for barcelona to proceed is to simply rely on themselves and the local spanish academies around them to form and mold those players themselves. they're already kind of doing it with some of their current young midfielders, but i think they are caught in this weird transition between generations of players and so they are going to be forced to add physicality to their game to cope with the rest of the europe simply because there is not enough of those players in the team for them to replicate that kind of style. it's obviously faster for the club if they can happen to land on one of those players coming from other parts of the world, but that kind of gamble needs funds and funds is the last thing barcelona can afford right now.

Ale : You have Messi Steve : babyyy 😂😂

Ale is an intelligent analyst

Kay is an absolute dream.

Kay “why are you bringing Real Madrid into it?”…..she is out of her depth

Ale got more pace than Maguire

Arsenal is his best option I think. If the transfer somehow happened, De Jong - Rice- Ødegaard trio has to be most balanced midfield in europe.

Let's be honest, in a team with a bright future in the CM position but with no clear 6, and a team that's struggling financially, losing Frenkie wouldn't be too bad if they sold him for that 100m Man U was offering. You get to use 30 ish of that to get Alex Garcia, Zubimendi or a proper DM and you still have Pedri, Gavi & Gundo in the mid (and Fermin). That leaves you with 70m to invest in the backline. Barca DO NOT have the luxury of stockpiling in the mid when there isn't even a clear 6 that has replaced Busi ...

Would love to see him in city

Would love him at United. ETH would get another former (Dutch) player, and hopefully things will be on the up with Ineos.

Em I the only one who thinks aussie rules the afl is significantly better then american football?, where is the afl world cup?

This guy is not for sell pls.

Paris Saint Germain would be the best club for his progression and if he want to become a legend of football Imagine a midfield De Jong- Zaïre Emery-Xavi simons, PSG would be unstoppable

Just having brilliant star level players does not instantly make a great team .As has been proven It even brings a unique problem.Managed well yes . Now buy players that fit your team's tactic, the managers needs and requirements,not taking any direction from media pressure. IE Klopp. Concerning Mbappe "Liverpool create great players ,they don't buy great players"

oh the color of the card was complicating it

Wow after dissing them De Jong may end up begging Man Utd to sign him. Liverpool, Arsenal, City, Chelsea, Bayern, all have enough good midfielders, signing him is just a luxury, the only place where his services are needed and will be appreciated is at Man Utd lol. Unless he ready to go to the desert.

FDJ has about 35 million reasons a year to stay at Barcelona.

Frankie dejong is the MAN in FCBarcelona, @stevie Nicole I hope you enjoy Frankie(Reality) playing in Barcelona more than what happens in Santiago Bernabéu

KAY'S legs ...Thats all .Thats the comment .

United may not want. His wages r currently at 700 000 per week. There is that season n that he toyed with united. Casemiro would have to leave

Simple .....De Jong for Bernardo and Cancelo .... Barca would Agree to that

Barcelona letting Frenkie De Jong go would be a terrible decision next to them letting Messi go.

For once I agree with Ale about Barca

First of all he isn’t going anywhere and if he did go to a Chelsea or United that would be the biggest downgrade ever 😂

Barca can’t cope this is why they’re a small club Madrid suffered one season after Cristiano and as the big club that they are Got their act together But Madrid was great before Cristiano, it’s football heritage Barca wasn’t great before Messi They’re returning to what they truly are

Frenkie isnt going anywhere. He forced his stay and ended up a captain and one of Barca's 3 best players. Management already working on an extension.

I need Barcelona leaving frenkie de Jong ❤❤

I see no weong with the blue card....there so many fouls that are neither yellow card card material nor red card material but deserves punushment...

Pepperoni and green pepper pizza. I'll have the pineapple on my ice cream for dessert thank you!

Ale might lose his job for those Inter Miami comments. 😆😂

"Money, Money 💰 🤑 MONEY" 😅

Lol de jong comes out saying he doesnt want to leave. Espn: "he wants to leave" 😂😂. Whay would he leave barcelona for united, chelsea or arsenal haha. Bayern would be one or maybe city if the interest is real

De Jong could walk into any midfield in the world.

Why Kay never has the questions?

Eric Dier is the BIG joke .

Whose gonna pay those wages? City would be the best place for him other than that Saudi or PSG.

Ale Moreno doesn’t think things through sometimes. Okay, De Jong has a stronger position at Barcelona now. So what? A better contract? Good luck with that. He is already paid a pile and Barca are skint.

To the bank after Barcelona agrees to pay him

The problem with having women as pundits is this is how the guys act, and there's is ZERO actual banter. Its boring. Like we all have to pretend she has a career.

He would take arsenal to the title

I miss Ale 🍺 😂

A poor mans Lucas Bergvall

As a Man U supporter. I don’t wana Frankie. He chose not to come before. I don’t want that

Straight to arsenal hes a fan

Well Stevie if you go on holidays to my place in kuching sarawak in Malaysia please goggle & come to pizza ria because it's pizza with pineapple & sausage..so don't go to pizza hut..

I kid you not, if he leaves Barca, he'll end up winning nothing else for a few more years.

Blue card yesssss

De Jong should join Man Utd for free transfer but I wouldn't suggest Utd to pay 100m for de Jong since they payed 60m for mount and his no where to be found

De jong should totally stay. Barcelona.

Ale the hipster babey

united

Leaving Barcelona for Man Utd is a huge downgrade. If he goes there - he has zero ambition and is just greedy.

At barcelona you could still win things even in the worst years of the club last season and Real madrid getting someone isn't gonna change that the possiblity of wining in spain for barcelona and madrid are alwys there

With Man City probably out of the window, De Jong goes to Bayern Munich if he is looking for a team that can A) afford him and B) win trophies.

I watch this channel because of Ale. Knowledgeable dude!

As a barca fan , i really hate this transfer. If only he moves to bayern or liverpool or ac milan , his career would be safe....

Bayern would be Perfect for him

Frankie de Jong will be 27 this year, Man Utd should not sign any player older than 25 years old.

City

American football is pure plop!

Kimmich × Rodri × Frenkie × De Bruyne × Foden

Come to United Frenkie ❤

This baldy has got a issue with united he never ever say positive about united which could potentially help in future

Klopp to barcelona ❤

Chelsea 🙏..Revamp please

Liverpool

If he would be smart he would go to PSG. PEL has an incredible crowded schedule, no Xmas vacation, no new year eve, the weather is disgusting, jalf of the players in it are very brutal bone crushers. I would risk my health and well being for the dame salary I could get in Paris, one of the most beautifully built city in the world. In addition in Europe he will still be. He will be paid in Euro the same currency he uses in his native country and he will be closer to his family.

Juventus

Not Arsenal
