Arsenal "spends 75 million Euros", determined to recruit De Jong

Coach Mikel Arteta sees De Jong as an important piece to strengthen the Gunners' midfield.

According to Fichajes, Barcelona are in financial trouble and an attractive offer could make them consider selling De Jong. Although the Dutch midfielder's contract runs until 2026, no talks of an extension have taken place.

Liverpool are also said to be interested in De Jong, but Arsenal are the most aggressive in their approach. Mikel Arteta wants a player who can control the ball, pass the ball and dictate the tempo of the game.

However, signing De Jong is not an easy task. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick sees him as an important part of the club's long-term plans. Barcelona may not want to lose one of their key midfielders, even if they are struggling financially.

According to Marca, Barcelona have yet to reach an agreement to extend De Jong's contract and negotiations have been postponed until the end of the 2024/25 season.

With Arsenal ready to make a lucrative offer, De Jong's move to the Premier League remains open. Barcelona will have to carefully consider whether to keep their key player or take the opportunity to improve the club's financial situation.
