Does Frenkie de Jong have a future at Barcelona?

New York Times  

Frenkie de Jong was waiting on the sidelines at Montjuic, ready to replace Gavi. “You’re talking a lot about my contract, my salary, that I’m getting €40million,” he said at the press conference ahead of the Champions League last 16 tie in Napoli in February this year. I’m very happy at Barca, it’s the club of my dreams and I hope to continue playing here for many years.” De Jong has suffered three injuries to his ankle in recent years. Joao Cancelo told Movistar last season that De Jong “was a great player, one of the best players he had seen in his position”. De Jong is one of Barcelona’s captains, ahead of Raphinha, but against Las Palmas, when the Dutchman entered the pitch, the Brazilian did not hand over the armband.
