Two Barcelona stars become transfer targets for Saudi clubs

Saudi Arabian clubs continue to target European football stars, with their attention now focused on two Barcelona players.

Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Saudi clubs are interested in Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha. In the summer of 2024, they attempted to sign the Brazilian, but he declined the offer. As for De Jong, the situation appears more flexible. His negotiations with Barcelona have stalled, and a Saudi offer could provide a resolution.

Barcelona is open to considering transfer proposals for these players in 2025. Resolving De Jong’s situation remains a priority for the club’s management.

Reminder: It was previously reported that Barcelona's board had decided to sell De Jong this winter. Meanwhile, Hansi Flick has approved the move, as he no longer sees the Dutch midfielder in his plans. This season, De Jong has played 8 matches in La Liga but started in only one of them.
