Flick is respectful towards all players but he is dissatisfied with Frenkie and omitting him is a sign for him to get in shape and show 100% commitment.
I hear they got 76m recently for a 30 year old injury prone player. Well, we have a 29 year old injury prone player as well, so the difference shouldn't be too big here.
Frenkie de Jong will stay at FC Barcelona. Manchester City had seriously considered signing him, but his injury changed their plans. City have since spent over €200 million on Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi. De Jong wants to stay at Barça and the club is counting on him. @sport
He ain't going anywhere and that's good. Midfield depth in final stretch of the season when hopefully everyone is fit will be very good and Flick can choose many different midfields.
You answered it yourself and there were many reports FDJ and the club don't agree on if and when he should do the surgery. I think he is just losing time, his return is just getting further and further.
Or lies from likes of Frenkie. If folk want to believe likes of him have at it.
We saw how that worked out for our players multiple times. As I said, he's just wasting time, we probably won't even see him this season if he waits much longer.
Of course, they can't officially say the things that they leak to Romero. Act nice in official statements and solve the problems in private as it should be.
