from Ajax for a €75 million fee in 2019. He went on to be one of
Barcelona’s
key players throughout these two seasons, as he made 42 appearances during his debut season as well as 15 so far this campaign.
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic’s realities, there would be much work to be done to balance the Catalans’ books, even if
Lionel Messi

the club believes they have few true high-value players aside from Messi that they could demand a big fee on them, that are Ansu
Fati
, Marc-Andre
Ter Stegen
, Antoine
Griezmann,
and
De Jong.
Barcelona’s former president, Josep Maria
Bartomeu
, came to terms on a new deal with De Jong several weeks ago that keeps the Dutchman with the club till 2026. However, Barcelona might be forced to sell the highly-rated midfielder as Bayern Munich is a big admirer of him.
The Bavarians had scouted
De Jong
and Matthijs
de Ligt
all through 2018, and they tried to sign De Jong after his breakthrough with Ajax as he ended up with the Blaugrana.

Hasan Salihamidzic
, has remained in contact with the midfielder's agent in the time since the Dutchman's decision.
With Joshua Kimmich being sidelined for an injury, Bayern is in the market for a midfielder, as it’s being reported that Rennes' Eduardo
Camavinga
and Florian
Neuhaus
of Borussia Monchengladbach are in their radars.
