There have been occasional rumors connecting Frenkie De Jong to a possible move to Manchester United ever since Erik ten Hag took charge at Old Trafford.
De Jong played a crucial role in Ten Hag’s Ajax team that made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019. Since then, his former coach has been keen on reuniting with him.
Despite Barcelona’s interest in potentially parting ways with the 27-year-old midfielder to improve their financial situation, De Jong has been hesitant to leave the club where he has a lucrative contract.
Recent reports from TeamTalk, citing multiple sources that Barcelona could be prepared to give the green light for De Jong’s potential departure.
In their efforts to secure the deal, Manchester United is said to have proposed including Antony in the transfer.
However, Barcelona turned down the offer, indicating a preference to retain Lamine Yamal as their top choice for the right-wing position.
