Frenkie de Jong’s dad says top clubs have been in touch with Barcelona midfielder

Frenkie de Jong’s father says some of Europe’s top clubs have been in touch with the Barcelona midfielder but he doesn’t see him leaving the Camp Nou as things stands.

There has been speculation about De Jong’s future this season and even claims Barca could be tempted to sell to help ease some of the club’s financial problems.

John de Jong, the midfielder’s father, played down talk of a move to Bayern Munich or Manchester United but did let slip there is interest in his son.

“It’s often bad weather there,” he said.
