Regardless of strong prodding from Barcelona to push him away to achieve financial stability and comply with LaLiga’s salary limit, de Jong decided not to leave Barcelona.
The fact that De Jong has only made five starts during the current season and that Catalonians have given Premier League suitors optimism that a deal can be completed in January even if they may not advance to the CL group round.
