Manchester United will sign Frenkie de Jong of Barcelona. According to reports, Manchester United is poised to make Frenkie de Jong of Barcelona a substantial €100 million offer during the summer transfer window.
Barcelona wants to sign Lionel Messi, Ilkay Gundogan, and Inigo Martinez this summer, according to the Catalan publication El Nacional. The team is also keeping an eye out for a striker who may serve as backup and challenge Robert Lewandowski.
Barcelona cannot, however, sign new players until they earn money, balance their accounts, and adhere to Financial Fair Play rules. According to rumors, Manchester United is attempting to lure De Jong away from Camp Nou by taking advantage of the Blaugrana’s precarious financial situation.
According to reports, the Red Devils and Barca reached a deal last summer, but the player wouldn’t budge. De Jong’s former coach at Ajax, Erik Ten Hag, is still adamant about getting him to Old Trafford, and Manchester United is willing to spend a fortune to grant him his desire. According to rumors, Manchester United is prepared to shell out €100 million to get the 25-year-old central midfielder.
De Jong has played frequently but hasn’t yet cemented himself as a team need. He has been added to Barca’s transfer list as a result, as the team has a chance to profit greatly from his sale.
Even if Barca president Joan Laporta approves of his transfer, De Jong’s preferences will ultimately prevail. The Dutchman also has no plans to leave the Catalan capital as things currently.
De Jong has played in 178 games for the 26-time Spanish champions across competitions since signing from Ajax for an €86 million deal in July 2019. He has scored 15 goals during that time. His agreement expires in June 2026.
In Barcelona’s close victory over Osasuna, Frenkie de Jong was impressive:
On Tuesday, May 2, Barcelona defeated Osasuna, finalists in the Copa del Rey, 1-0 thanks to a goal from Jordi Alba in the 85th minute. The best player for Barca was Frenkie de Jong, who assisted Alba with a deft nod in his direction.
De Jong had a passing efficiency of 91% and completed a staggering 93 passes in the victory over Osasuna. Additionally, he produced four opportunities, completed 18 passes in the final third, threw seven accurate long balls, and prevailed in three of four aerial duels. The La Liga leaders’ central midfielder was at the center of all their successful plays that night.
