EXCL: World Cup-winning midfielder tells Barcelona to sell Frenkie de Jong - 'He should go to England for me'

Interview conducted with Grosvenor Sport. 

Former Barcelona, Arsenal and France midfielder Emmanuel Petit has advised the Catalan side to cash in on Frenkie de Jong this summer, and the Dutchman to take a leap to the Premier League. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United in recent summers, and Bayern Munich more recently, but has thus far maintained a desire to remain at the club.

Barcelona look to be considering a clearout in the upcoming transfer window, or at least considering offers for the majority of their stars. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Pau Cubarsi, Lamine Yamal and Gavi have been reported as the untouchable elements in their squad, with all others in the squad able to leave if the right offer comes in. Petit told Football España that focusing their future on the youngsters was the right move, beyond how they handle the rest of their business.

“I totally agree, that they should hang onto their youngsters. The fact that they are not getting, or don’t have the top, top money now, means they have to go back to their DNA, to the academy, and those guys represent the future of the club.”

Arsenal, if there is even a 1% chance to sign Frenkie de Jong this summer, please ABORT ANY PLANS of signing Bruno Guimaraes
