Luuk de Jong may play for Cadiz in the second half of the season. Mundo Deportivo and Catalunya Radio report that Barcelona, Sevilla and Cadiz have reached an agreement on a new rental transfer for the 31-year-old center striker. De Jong now only has to agree himself before a temporary transition to the current number nineteen of LaLiga is a fact.
De Jong is not included in the plans for the second half of the season at Barcelona. For the time being, the striker has played twelve official games for the Catalans, six of which as a basic player. Xavi has so far made one base place for De Jong, but it seems no secret that the Barcelona coach does not like the striker. Despite Memphis Depay’s injury, he posted second-team Ferran Jutglà in the striker of his starting eleven during the last two games.
For that reason, Barcelona has entered into talks with Sevilla about terminating the lease, partly to create financial space to make purchases in the winter transfer window. Sevilla has agreed to this, all the more so because a candidate has come forward with Cádiz to hire De Jong in the second half of the season. It was reported at an earlier stage that Sevilla would not want De Jong back for the remainder of this season and was willing to cooperate in a rental transfer provided that the amount that Barcelona still has to pay in the remainder of the season can be paid by its new club. be met, which would amount to two million euros.
La Razon wrote last month that Sevilla would like to aim for a winter rental transfer with an option to buy worth eight million euros if several clubs are interested. At the time, the newspaper also mentioned Ajax and PSV as possible candidates for De Jong, but at the moment a switch within LaLiga seems to be the most obvious. Cádiz has accepted the conditions set by Sevilla for a rental transfer, which means that only the yes from De Jong himself is still missing. De Jong’s contract with Sevilla – which transferred 12.5 million euros to PSV for the striker in the summer of 2019 – will continue until mid-2023.
