Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that the Spanish giants received a mega-money offer for Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong last summer - and has claimed fresh bids have been tabled.
The Red Devils were strongly linked with a move for the Dutch midfielder as Erik ten Hag aimed to add to his midfield options at Old Trafford. He was identified as a prime target, whilst it was reported that Barcelona were open to selling due to the dire financial situation at the Camp Nou.
In the end, an agreement could not be found between the three parties. United were then forced to look elsewhere for recruits.
