The Dutchman is, of course, in the midst of a season-long loan spell at the Camp Nou, from La Liga rivals Seville.
According to a report by Alfredo Martinez of Spanish outlet Diario Sport, those in a position of power at Barcelona are seriously considering a proposal to extend De Jong’s loan spell for another year.
The prospect of such a deal with Sevilla is currently seen as ‘difficult’, but there is still hope ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
