Barcelona have changed their stance on the future of Frenkie de Jong and have stepped up their pursuit of Wolves midfielder and Manchester United transfer target Ruben Neves.
The Red Devils' pursuit of De Jong was the longest-running transfer saga of the summer window and despite the club making a breakthrough in the deal, the Dutch international ace ultimately remained at the Camp Nou.
United boss Erik ten Hag coached De Jong at Ajax and held a phone call this summer to convince the player that he should join his project at Old Trafford. The Red Devils had an initial transfer fee agreed with Barca valued at £56.2million to sign the midfielder but no agreement could be struck.
