Barcelona will reportedly launch one final bid to force Frenkie de Jong out of the club in showdown talks with the player's agent today.

According to Spanish news outlet Sport, De Jong's agent, Ali Dursun, has touched down in Barcelona ahead of a key meeting with the Catalan club where they will look to reach a final conclusion on his future before the summer window closes on September 1.

The report states that Barcelona are intent of offloading the Dutchman, who is one of their biggest earners, as they look to register summer signing Jules Kounde by freeing up space on their wage bill.
