Liverpool have reportedly made an offer for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong

Liverpool are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to Forbes.

The Reds have signed Darwin Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsay so far this summer.

However, the club could be set to add De Jong to the aforementioned list.

As reported by Forbes: ‘Liverpool have made an offer to FC Barcelona to sign their midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

‘This has been reported by Spanish transfer news outlet Futbol Total, who have confirmed claims made by Liverpool fan account Talk of the Kop on Wednesday afternoon.

‘According to the source, the Premier League giants have tabled a bid for the Dutchman that would see them hand over an initial £53mn ($62.5mn) for his services and a further £7mn ($8.25mn) in variables totaling around €71mn ($70mn).'

De Jong is contracted until the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign, which means that a free transfer is off the table for the time being.

Anfield Watch Verdict

De Jong is a solid player. The midfielder has scored 13 goals and registered 18 assists in 142 appearances for Barcelona's first-team.

De Jong averaged a WhoScored player rating of 6.91 across the 2021-22 La Liga campaign.

The aforementioned figures highlight that the Netherlands international would add some quality to Liverpool's midfield.

De Jong is only 25 years of age. With that being the case, he is about to the enter the prime of his career.

Therefore, we would not be against the club signing De Jong. However, we don't know how true the report from Total Futbol is.

Only time will tell if Liverpool have made a move for the midfielder.
