Barcelona interested in selling midfield ace previously targeted by Manchester United | OneFootball

Manchester United could be set for another Frenkie de Jong saga this summer.

A lot of us will hope the club avoids going down that route after bending over backwards to sign the Netherlands international in the 2022 summer transfer window.

Erik ten Hag made the former Ajax midfielder the club’s leading midfield target that summer. It remains to be seen if he is willing to do that again after missing out on De Jong’s signature.

According to Spanish publication Sport, Barcelona are ‘interested’ in offloading De Jong ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

The Dutchman, who continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, is still considered an important player by key figures at Barcelona.

It is understood they will need to sell players before welcoming new recruits, which may be the reason why De Jong’s days could be numbered.

I would be hesitant to get involved in another De Jong saga. Let us know in the comments if you think United should try again to sign the Dutch midfielder.
