De Jong’s absence from Barcelona’s kit video clarified

 

Contrary to reports, Frenkie de Jong’s absence from Barcelona’s promotional video for their new kit is not a sign of any issue with his contract with the club.

De Jong was conspicuously missing from the unveiling despite being a Nike ambassador.

However, it appears that the midfielder was simply unavailable for filming on the day of the shoot, and his omission was not a deliberate snub.

After all, other Nike players like Joao Cancelo, Sergi Roberto and Vitor Roque did not appear as well.

Reports had suggested that De Jong’s absence from the video was a sign of his impending departure from the club.

Despite rumours linking the Dutchman to other clubs, he has consistently stated his desire to remain at Barcelona and is eager to contribute to the team’s success.

His future remains uncertain, though, especially as Barcelona are looking to generate funds this summer to manage several important operations.
