The Dutch midfielder has returned to group training following a lengthy knee injury lay-off, but faces strong competition for minutes in Hansi Flick's midfield, according to reports in Spain.
Barcelona are said to be monitoring his role closely in the coming months, while Premier League rivals Manchester City also explored a move last summer.
Despite De Jong's desire to remain at Camp Nou, Chelsea are understood to be tracking developments after Enzo Fernandez's departure, with the Premier League club ready to assess any opportunity that may arise.
Everton rival Newcastle over Gabriel Sara

The Toffees are said to have begun exploring the financial details of a potential deal through intermediaries, while Newcastle United retain a long-standing interest after previously attempting to sign the Brazilian during the summer.
According to reports in Turkey, the former Norwich City star could be available for around £22m.
Sara has established himself as a key figure for the Turkish champions and remains under contract until 2029, meaning Galatasaray are under little pressure to sell despite growing Premier League interest.
Liverpool now favourites to sign Lamine Camara

The Reds are expected to consider Camara as a potential option should Alexis Mac Allister leave in 2027, and per reports, are leading the race for his signature over Chelsea.
They are also monitoring alternatives including Manu Kone and Alex Scott, while the Senegal international is expected to cost in excess of £60m.
While the Blues continue to admire Camara, Liverpool are currently better placed in the race, with Monaco hopeful that the increased interest could trigger a bidding battle for the highly rated midfielder.
