Its a good thing for us, when we wanted to sign him for £60-£80 milion, he refused, but now he want’s to join his teammates again and win trophies. BREAKING: Barcelona are desperate to sell Frenkie de Jong and have offered him to Manchester United who are looking ready to sell Casemiro and McTominay. The asking price for him is only around £35/40m, the problem are his…

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to sell Frenkie de Jong for €60 million, according to sources in Spain.

The Dutch international, who has been linked with a potential departure from Camp Nou since his arrival in 2019, could finally be on his way out, with the Blaugrana seemingly open to a sale this summer.

Manchester United have long been admirers of De Jong and have come close to signing the 27-year-old in each of the past two summer transfer windows. Now, a move may be more likely than ever.

According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona is willing to part with De Jong this summer, setting an asking price of €60 million.

United are in the market for a new central midfielder and have encountered challenges in their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain star Manuel Ugarte. While the Uruguayan remains United’s top target, PSG is reluctant to lower his €60 million price tag.

As a result, the Red Devils are exploring other options. Burnley’s Sander Berge has emerged as a potential candidate, as revealed by The Transfers Podcast, while Joao Gomes and Youssouf Fofana are also on their radar.

However, United may now have the perfect opportunity to secure De Jong’s services, given his uncertain future at Barcelona and the club’s revised asking price of €60 million.

De Jong’s Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) currently stands at €47.5 million, down from a peak of €86.1 million in July 2021.

So far this summer, Manchester United have made significant moves in the transfer market, signing Bologna forward Joshua Zirkzee and Lille defender Leny Yoro for a combined €104.5 million.

Additionally, Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are expected to join the club soon, with their arrivals on the verge of being announced.

On the departure front, United have sold Mason Greenwood to Marseille, Willy Kambwala to Villarreal, Alvaro Carreras Fernandez to Benfica, and Donny van de Beek to Girona. Raphael Varane headlines the list of free transfer exits for the Red Devils.Barcelona’s reported willingness to sell Frenkie de Jong for €60 million could open a door for Manchester United to finally secure the Dutch midfielder, a long-standing target for the club. United have previously made attempts to bring De Jong to Old Trafford but faced various challenges, including the player’s desire to stay at Barcelona and financial disagreements.

Now, with Barcelona seemingly open to negotiations at a reduced price, United might have the perfect opportunity to strengthen their midfield. This comes at a time when United are also exploring other midfield options like Manuel Ugarte, Sander Berge, Joao Gomes, and Youssouf Fofana, but De Jong’s availability could shift their focus back to him.

United have already been active in the transfer market, securing Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro, and are close to announcing the arrivals of Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. The potential addition of De Jong would further bolster Erik ten Hag’s squad, especially after notable departures like Mason Greenwood, Donny van de Beek, and Raphael Varane.

De Jong’s transfer value has decreased from its peak, making this summer a potentially ideal moment for United to strike a deal, particularly as they continue to reshape their squad for the upcoming season.
