Barcelona signing Frenkie de Jong has been assured room will be made for him when he arrives this summer from Ajax.

That's according to Quim Domènech on El Chiringuito, who says Barcelona convinced De Jong to sign for them after confirming at least three central midfielders would be leaving the club in the summer.

Among De Jong's demands was getting regular playing time and it appears Barça reacted by putting three midfielders for sale.

Although the identity of those players wasn't revealed by his source, Quim claims it'll be Ivan Rakitic, Denis Suarez and Rafinha who leave the club.
