New Barcelona signing Frenkie de Jong says he’ll join the club willing to play anywhere.
De Jong is currently with the Netherlands squad preparing for their UEFA Nations League semi-final with England and was asked what he thought about Rakitic’s comments.
“[Barcelona] told me that I’d be joining to take up one of the three positions in midfield,” De Jong told Veronica Inside.
“We’ll see what happens. I’m not going to be the one saying which position I want to play.”
De Jong’s future boss Ernesto Valverde has seen his position as coach come under scrutiny in recent weeks.
“I still haven’t had any contact with him,” De Jong said. “You’re telling me that he’s under pressure, but that’s also due to the media.
“Nevertheless, I don’t know how things are at the club. Did I contact him during my transfer? No, I insist that I’ve had no contact with him.”
