Barcelona chief makes definitive Frenkie de Jong to Man Utd claim and updates on targets

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has offered updates on Frenkie de Jong and a number of the club's top targets - and it's not good news for Manchester United.

The Red Devils are thought to be negotiating personal terms with the Dutch midfielder having agreed upon a £56million deal, plus add-ons, with Barcelona. However, just when the long-running transfer tussle over the 25-year-old looked to be nearing its conclusion, it's taken another twist.

Barcelona chief Laporta has insisted the cash-strapped Catalan club have "no intention" of selling De Jong this summer, while the player himself is determined to stay at the Nou Camp. Not only that, but updates on a number of the club's targets, including Leeds winger Raphinha, will spark further cause for concern for the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
