As the Spanish “Sport” reports, the German record champions are the only club that de Jong might imagine moving to.
In recent weeks and months, De Jong has been linked with a move to the Premier League and a reunion with his former coach Erik ten Hag at Manchester United.
Despite the shared past, the 25-year-old is reluctant to be transferred to the island. A circumstance that causes headaches for those responsible for Barcelona. Barça would like to save the Dutchman’s high salary, a sale would ease the Catalans’ financial worries, at least for the time being.

However, a transfer to Bayern Munich is likely to prove difficult. Although de Jong would fit Julian Nagelsmann’s game idea, Munich are already well occupied in midfield.
So the Bavarian dream of the Dutchman remains for the time being only one thing – namely a dream. Barcelona, meanwhile, must continue their efforts to persuade their protégé to move to the Premier League in order to reduce their own mountain of debt.
