Manchester United is Set to Sign Barcelona Star Frenkie de Jong in a £80million move next summer
Reports say that Barcelona will soon be willing to sell Frenkie de Jong if they can not come to an agreement on a new deal with the Dutch playmaker.
There have been rumors for a long time that De Jong would like to move to Manchester United, but nothing has come of it yet. He could be leaving Barcelona next summer if he can not find a long-term partner.
The player who graduated from the Ajax school still has two years left on his current contract, which ends in 2026. His bosses are actively looking to extend his stay. According to SPORT, De Jong has “not responded” to Barcelona’s offer to extend his contract. If he does not agree, the club will try to sell him in June.
The same thing is happening with Ronald Araujo, a defender for Barcelona who has also been highly linked with United. He has “not accepted” the terms that were offered and will also leave the club in 2026.
Pedri and Gavi, two midfielders, are currently Barcelona’s top concern. Both are “fully ready to continue” at the club, which means they could push De Jong out the door if he does not decide to commit.
According to the story above, United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain have all been “tempting” the Netherlands international. He was asked about his future during the summer, when Erik ten Hag was said to be trying to get back in touch with an old player.
“Already at Barcelona? De Jong said, “Yes, I am definitely very happy in Barcelona with my family.” Hanzi Flick wants me to be important. I talked to him. It was good.
When asked about this, Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, said, “The last thing he would want is to leave Barcelona.” He is told me more than once that he is happy here.
“We are happy with him. I do not worry about anyone, and we can not stop a player from leaving if they want to. But I think everyone wants to stay, and we want everyone to stay too. No team in history has been a “flash in the pan,” so we do not want any of them to leave.
