On June 2nd, Beijing time, Frenkie de Jong granted an interview to a foreign media outlet. In the interview, De Jong revealed that he had to take the risk of re-injury to participate in the European Championship, and as for his club future, he expressed his desire to remain at Barcelona.
De Jong said, “To play in the Euros, I am prepared to take some risks, but my main concern is that my ankle injury doesn’t become chronic. As of now, that’s not the case, which is why I didn’t opt for surgery. Yes, this is my third injury of the season, but the second one might have been due to me returning to play too soon, with the injury still on my mind.”
Regarding his future, he stated, “I want to stay at Barcelona, I’m very happy here.”
