Barcelona president Joan Laporta may have inadvertently hinted that Chelsea have made an offer for midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
De Jong has been heavily pursued by Manchester United over the last few months but no deal has yet been agreed, with Spanish outlet Sport even claiming the 25-year-old views the Red Devils as "erratic" whilst the fact that they aren't in the UEFA Champions League next season may also play a part in his reluctance to join United this summer. Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in the Dutch international and the aforementioned Laporta has now admitted that multiple offers have been lodged for the talented playmaker during the summer transfer window.
Speaking about the former Ajax star to ESPN, he said: "Frenkie is our player, we really like him. We received some offers for Frenkie but we didn’t accept as of now, as we want to talk with him and know exactly what he wants. We need to clarify some aspects of his situation."
