Having become undesirable at Barça, the Dutchman Luuk de Jong is pushed towards the exit and an arrival in Cadiz is in the pipes. But the main concerned is not very motivated at the idea of joining the Andalusian club.
Succeeding at FC Barcelona is not for everyone, and Luuk de Jong knows it well now. Loaned by Sevilla FC to the Catalan club this summer for the entire 2021-2022 season, the Dutch striker has so far had to settle for the end of matches with a few starts. In total, the main concerned played 12 matches in all competitions for a single small goal, on September 26 against Levante in La Liga. And unfortunately, it was more his misses that put the spotlight on him, like those against Benfica in the Champions League.
The hardest part for the 31-year-old is that new FCB coach Xavi Hernandez is deprived of several attacking elements at the moment, with the injuries of Ansu Fati, Memphis Depay and Martin Braithwaite, and the forced retirement of Sergio Agüero, but he does not play him, preferring in particular the young people of La Masia who prove him right. Suddenly, a departure is more relevant than ever for the former player of PSV Eindhoven, and a way out was opened on Friday.
De Jong is not hot for Cadiz
On the other side of the Pyrenees, the Spanish media explained that an agreement between FC Barcelona, Sevilla FC, which holds the rights of the player, and Cadiz had been found to send Luuk de Jong on loan for the second part of the season. within the club promoted a year and a half ago. What to rejoice everyone? Not really. Because the latest news on this is not so good anymore. According to information from SPORT, the Dutch international (38 caps, 8 goals) intends to play the clock in this operation, and therefore not in a hurry to make a decision.
The local media affirm that Luuk de Jong, “reluctant” to go to Cadiz, wishes to wait to see if a more interesting sports project arises during the winter transfer window. And of course, that does not suit the Blaugranas who want to complete this file before December 31, next Friday. Because from the opening of the winter transfer window 2022 in a week, President Joan Laporta and his leaders will have other priorities.
