Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez has come out to say that Frenkie de Jong remains a key part of his long-term plans at the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite several reports linking the midfielder with a summer move away from Camp Nou, the ex Ajax player is very much one he’ll keep for the foreseeable future.
Xavi added that there aren’t many players with his quality in the world, and he’ll always be a vital Barcelona asset.
His words, “He has to be a player that makes the difference and he does,”
“There aren’t many players with his quality in the world. He’s the present and the future [at Barca]. He is a very important player for me. He’s capable, strong, he gets into the box… He has had some excellent games, but he has to be consistent.”
“We had a face-to-face chat this week and it went well,”
“Obviously being taken off is frustrating for him, but I have to look out for the team.”
