'I've spoken regularly to him': Koeman weighs in on De Jong's potential Barca exit

Frenkie De Jong is set to miss the upcoming Euros due to the ankle injury he sustained while at Barcelona.

The Dutchman remains one of the most highly-valued players at Barcelona and, just like every summer, is linked with a move away from the club.

The Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman said of the midfielder, as quoted by Relevo: "No, in my opinion not, but I'm not the Barcelona coach or its president. I think all teams need to keep their best players.

"I've spoken regularly with him about many things and I think he's happy at Barcelona and doesn't want to leave.

"Injuries have affected his level in recent months, that's for sure, I think he wasn't 100% fit to play against PSG and Real Madrid in the last games of the season, but he needs time to be at his best."
