Summary

Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona is uncertain as Dutch journalist Valentijn Driessen suggests he may be entering his last season at the club.

Driessen noted that De Jong’s playing time could diminish due to Rodri’s presence and questioned whether both could thrive together in the same lineup. Barcelona's tactical approach under coach Hansi Flick will play a crucial role in determining De Jong's standing once he returns from injury.
