Barcelona hand Chelsea and Man United Frenkie de Jong transfer initiative with Man City meeting

Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong could once again be the centrepiece of a significant amount of summer transfer interest from the Premier League. Despite rejecting moves to Manchester United and Chelsea in the window before the 2022/23 season, the Dutch midfielder's days at the Catalan club appear numbered with Barca plotting their own moves for the coming summer window.

According to Marca, Barcelona chiefs met with the representative of Manchester City star Ilkay Gundogan regarding a potential transfer. The 32-year-old sees his current deal expire at the end of the season and is said to be in talks with City, however that does not rule out a potential move to Barcelona.

Xavi's midfield options are already vast with Pedri and Gavi continuing their development and looking set to be joined by the latest academy starlet Pablo Torre. Franck Kessie arrived last summer and club stalwart Sergio Busquets looks primed for one more season at the club.
