Frenkie de Jong is one of Barcelona's brightest talents, and the Dutchman's career is still only in its relatively early stages.
The midfielder, born in 1997, has had a big reputation since the 2018/19 season, when he and his then-Ajax teammates impressed in the Champions League, upset Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and went all the way to the semi-finals. Then, they went close to making it to the final to face Liverpool in Madrid only to fall against Tottenham.
De Jong is versatile and has played as a defender on occasion for the Catalan side, and he is known best for his vision, passing, technique and his defensive awareness. He's thought to be one of the world's best midfielders.
The 24-year-old has already played a total of 128 games for Barcelona, in which he has scored 13 goals and provided 16 assists. Just looking at this season, De Jong has made 35 appearances for the Blaugrana in all competitions, which has led to him scoring four goals and providing four assists. Since arriving at Barcelona, though, the only trophy De Jong has lifted is the 2020/21 Copa del Rey.
