Liverpool will prioritise signing De Jong

Frenkie de Jong made it clear that it never crossed his mind to leave the Catalan giants in an interview with 'Ziggo Sport'. "I was calm. I decided in May that I wanted to stay. My opinion never changed, although I knew the pressure would come. From the newspapers, from the president, yes... from everyone, in fact", he said.

Liverpool, meanwhile, need to strengthen their midfield in the next transfer window. That is why, according to Sport, the Reds have made the midfielder signing a priority.

In addition, the English side have the problem that up to four players are out of contract next June. Naby Keita, Oxlade Chamberlain, James Milner and the end of Arthur's loan spell are the players who will not be under the orders of Jurgen Kloop in the 2023-24 season.

This fact, added to the fact that De Jong is not undisputed starter for Xavi, puts the Dutch international on Liverpool's agenda for the future.
