Sources have informed Barça Universal that Frenkie de Jong’s tenure at Barcelona may be coming to an end, with three major European clubs, namely Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United are interested in signing him.

Reports suggest that Barcelona are willing to part ways with De Jong if he does not agree to extend his contract or accept a reduced salary.

In such a scenario, the Catalan club plans to sell him for a minimum fee of €70 million.

Three teams interested in Frenkie de Jong

Manchester United view De Jong as the perfect addition to bolster their midfield and propel their project to the highest levels in Europe.

After several challenging seasons, the Red Devils aim to enhance their midfield with De Jong’s exceptional skill and vision, something that they also tried last year, but faced continued rejection.

The club has long admired him, making their interest well-established.

Meanwhile, Manchester City, under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, see De Jong as an ideal partner for Rodri in midfield.

De Jong’s ability to control the game fits seamlessly with Guardiola’s strategy of dominating possession and creating opportunities from midfield.

Bayern Munich seriously interested in De Jong

Similarly, Bayern Munich are also considering De Jong as a crucial addition to their squad.

They believe his technical prowess and understanding of the game would enhance their already strong team and align with Bayern’s playing style.

Though Barcelona have not yet received official offers, they remain open to potential bids. The club expects to receive at least €70 million for the talented midfielder.

Meanwhile, it must be noted that despite De Jong’s contentment with Barcelona, a transfer remains a possibility mostly because of Barcelona’s troubling finances.
