Frenkie De Jong’s Dream Premier League Move Revealed Amid Liverpool Transfer Links
Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has already named his dream Premier League club, and it’s not Liverpool, despite being linked with a surprise transfer move to Anfield. In an interview with Voetbal International, De Jong revealed that he had always dreamed of following the Marc Overmars route, from Ajax to Arsenal and then Barcelona.
Growing up, De Jong was a massive fan of Arsenal and would often watch their matches featuring Marc Overmars and Dennis Bergkamp. He spoke about his admiration for the club’s style of play and the players that wore the red shirt. However, when he was presented with the opportunity to join Barcelona, he jumped at the chance, citing the club’s rich history and the chance to play alongside the best players in the world.
The Route Less Traveled
De Jong’s revelation has sparked debate among fans and pundits, with some wondering why he wouldn’t opt for a move to Arsenal, who are reportedly interested in his services. However, De Jong’s answer lies in the club’s style of play and the players that make up their squad.
Barcelona’s dominant midfield, featuring the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets, was a major draw for De Jong. He would often watch these midfield maestros play and study their movements. De Jong believes that the football Barcelona play is unique and has a certain flair that is unmatched by other clubs.
The Road Ahead
So, what does this mean for De Jong’s future? Despite being linked with a move to Liverpool, it’s clear that De Jong has his heart set on Barcelona. If Barca were to agree to a swap deal that would bring Liverpool star Luis Diaz to Camp Nou, De Jong could potentially be part of the package.
However, a move to Arsenal remains a possibility, especially if they can match Barca’s ambition and offer De Jong a chance to play in a similar style. Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain – Frenkie de Jong has a clear vision for his future, and it doesn’t involve playing for Liverpool.
