De Jong is reportedly "unhappy" at Barcelona opening the door for a easy grasp from Anfield
 |
| Frenkie de Jong is said to be unhappy at Barcelona |
The Dutch international became a target for Liverpool during the summer but Manchester United were credited more with a move that they even agreed a deal with Barcelona, but had their approach turned down because the midfielder wanted to remain at the Spanish club.
De Jong is now said to be "dissatisfied" with the way Barcelona team has treated him, given his decision to stay at the club and sit on the bench several times under manager Xavi.
Liverpool's search for a midfielder continued after interest in signing Aurélien Tchouaméni in the summer culminated to the signing of Arthur Melo just before the deadline.
Liverpool, apparently will seek more midfield reinforce ments in the January transfer window if they continue to underperform.
