Slot’s influence is equally evident in Europe, where Liverpool have dominated the Champions League, winning all five of their group-stage matches.
As the January transfer window approaches, the Reds are reportedly pursuing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong to bolster their squad and maintain their dominance across competitions.
Liverpool’s Interest in Frenkie de Jong
According to Football365, Liverpool have identified the Dutch international as a potential successor to Ryan Gravenberch, who is attracting interest from Real Madrid. Reports suggest Liverpool have made a €40m offer for de Jong, aiming to capitalize on his uncertain situation at Barcelona. Manager Arne Slot is said to have personally recommended the signing.
The 27-year-old midfielder faced a challenging previous season, missing 47 games due to an ankle injury. Under new Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, de Jong has struggled for regular game time, starting only two of his 11 appearances this season amid a competitive midfield.
Since joining Barcelona, de Jong has played 224 matches, contributing 18 goals and 22 assists. Across all competitions, his career tally stands at 35 goals and 48 assists in 385 games (via Transfermarkt). Despite his talent, he has been linked with an exit, with Manchester United and their former manager Erik ten Hag previously pursuing him. Current United manager Ruben Amorim is also reportedly interested in the midfielder.
Arne Slot envisions de Jong as a perfect fit for Liverpool’s dynamic, possession-based midfield. Renowned for his ability to control tempo, break defensive lines, and stay composed under pressure, de Jong aligns well with Liverpool’s attacking style.
If the deal materializes, de Jong’s move could significantly strengthen Liverpool’s quest for domestic and European success, while offering him an opportunity to reassert himself as one of the world’s elite midfielders...CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶▶
