Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is exploring the possibility of using veteran midfielder Frenkie de Jong as a centre-back. The Dutch international, who has been managing knee problems, trained in the new position last week. Flick confirmed that De Jong is an option for the role, stating 'yes, he can play there.' The move could help alleviate competition in midfield and provide cover for injured defender Andreas Christensen.
