Barça calls Sevilla to sign Luuk De Jong

As AS has learned, Barça called Sevilla this Tuesday afternoon, around 6:00 p.m., to try in extremis to sign Luuk de Jong, a Dutch forward who has rejected PSV aware that Ronald Koeman wants his signing. Barça is chasing a striker, Koeman likes him because he knows him from the Dutch national team and, seeing that the club does not make progress in the incorporation of other signings, he has contacted Sevilla at 6:00 p.m. The parties to the negotiation are not clear that the negotiation will come out because it is hasty, but it is open. De Jong ends his contract in 2023, so the possibility of a transfer taking over the chip or even an exchange with a player is on the table. Pjanic has sounded.

Koeman has been bent on signing a forward for several weeks. The Dutch coach does not have the accounts because he no longer has Messi's 30 goals and, Despite the fact that he has footballers like Agüero, Ansu or Memphis on the payroll, he considers that it is impossible to reach that amount. Faced with the impossibility of signing a crack, the Dutch coach already put Luuk de Jong's name on the table a few weeks ago. He knows that it is an anonymous name but he believes that, in certain situations, it could be a resource for Barça. The club, which until now has only given him the whims of Dest and Memphis, could make a concession to him although the signing, knowing how Laporta moves, would not be entirely to his liking.
