Frenkie De Jong Wants The One Thing Manchester United Can't Offer Him

Erik Ten Hag has identified Dutch midfielder Frenkie De Jong as a priority target this summer as he begins his revamp of an unsteady Manchester United squad. However, the 25-year-old is said to be hesitant about a potential move to the Theatre of Dreams and is understood to be very happy at Barcelona.

However, regardless of De Jong’s preference this summer, where he ends up at the end of it could be heavily influenced by the offers presented to Barcelona for the Dutchman. Barcelona once again find themselves in financial disarray and could find a substantial offer for De Jong difficult to turn down, especially considering the plethora of engine room talent they already have at their disposal. According to Manchester Evening News, United are reportedly ready to spend up to £75 million on De Jong.

Frenkie De Jong is happy in Barcelona. He’s recently purchased a new home in Catalonia and he’s currently playing for a club he dreamed of playing for as a child. It won’t be easy for him to walk away from that, especially if he is going to have to move to a club playing in the Europa League. If he is to leave Barça, there may also be other interested clubs he’d prefer to join, such as PSG who reportedly hold an interest in the midfielder.
