Manchester United and Chelsea cool interest in veteran Barcelona star – report
Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona has become increasingly uncertain, with Manchester United and Chelsea cooling their interest in signing the Dutch midfielder ahead of the winter transfer window...
Manchester United are exploring the possibility of signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong for £55 million in 2027, according to recent reports. The Dutch player's current club, Barcelona, is reportedly valuing him at around 65 million euros, which could prove challenging for Juventus to overcome. United's interest is reigniting after they previously attempted to sign De Jong in 2022 but failed to convince the player to make a move.
De Jong, who is currently sidelined with an injury, has expressed consideration of his future at Barcelona, especially if he continues to be overlooked by manager Hansi Flick. Barcelona is not expected to discount significantly from their asking price, making a move by United more difficult. While Juventus has shown interest in De Jong, they are not believed to be making a move for the midfielder due to his high asking price and wages.
