Frenkie de Jong's summer transfer saga has kept the footballing world on the edge of its seat.
Seemingly happy to represent Barcelona for the rest of his career when the window first opened, De Jong is now effectively being forced out so the Catalan club can free up cash to pay for other players.
De Jong has been digging his heels in and is determined to ride out this wave and remain a Barcelona player when the window slams shut. But the Dutchman isn't getting things his own way, with Xavi starting to play him out of position in defence, and even telling the press he sees his future at centre-back, seemingly in a bid to convince the midfielder it's time to leave.
