Patrick Kluivert hoping Frenkie de Jong stays at Barcelona

Patrick Kluivert has been talking about Barcelona and made it clear he thinks Frenkie de Jong should stay at the club.

Speculation on Tuesday has suggested Barcelona and Manchester United have agreed a fee for the midfielder, even though he has said he wants to stay at the Camp Nou.

Kluivert told Cadena SER that he knows Barcelona are in a tricky financial situation but still hopes that De Jong will not be forced to leave.

“I hope they keep him, yes. He is a player who has surprised many people, but you have to see the situation of the club,” he said.
