Barcelona made it to the tournament as a qualifier because they finished second in La Liga to their El Clasico rivals.ย Even yet, De Jong’s time in the Middle East didn’t get off to a great start.
That’s because he fell as he stepped off the bus when it arrived at the hotel.ย The Dutchman had just stepped off the coach when he stumbled and fell down the steps.ย The midfielder was perplexed, but after looking back for a second to see what had happened, he quickly regained his calm and continued on.
After returning from the World Cup, De Jong has started for Espanyol and Atletico Madrid in the league.ย Despite Manchester United’s attention since last summer, the 25-year-future old’s appears to remain with the Spanish giants.
President Joan Laporta has already stated that he would not be put up for sale at any time this year, so this is not a surprise. He said: “Frenkie de Jong is not for sale.
“He wasn’t for sale in the summer and he won’t leave this year.ย “De Jong is a very appealing footballer, we know that, but I insist he’s not for sale.”
