Paris Saint-Germain have lost interest in one of Barcelona's key players. The reason has been known

Barcelona faces a challenging transfer window. They need to raise a substantial amount of money to avoid La Liga sanctions for breaching financial fair play rules. To achieve this, they might need to sell 1-2 players.

One of the players Barcelona planned to sell is Frenkie de Jong.

The situation with the Dutchman is unclear, mainly due to his contract. Barcelona wants to extend his contract, which runs until 2026, but with a significant salary reduction to alleviate their financial issues.

However, the midfielder is not rushing to extend his contract, leading to reports that he might be sold.

Paris Saint-Germain was considered one of the main contenders for de Jong. The French champions closely monitored the player and planned to strengthen their squad with him this year. But Sport reports that PSG's interest in the Dutchman has cooled, if not disappeared altogether. This is due to the excellent performance of their current player, Vitinha, in the recently concluded season.

At the moment, the perspective on de Jong's situation from Barcelona's new coach, Hansi Flick, is unknown. Considering that Joshua Kimmich appears to be the primary target for the new coach, selling the Dutchman could be a viable option. However, it is still too early to predict what the future holds for him at Barcelona.
