Chelsea are reportedly hoping to ‘hijack’ Manchester United ’s move for Frenkie de Jong and will attempt to send two players to Barcelona in part-exchange.
The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the Dutch playmaker throughout the summer but look no closer to sealing his signature with De Jong remaining unconvinced on swapping the Nou Camp for Old Trafford.
As a result, Chelsea have been touted as potential suitors for the former Ajax star with the Blues able to offer him Champions League football. It remains to be seen which of the Premier League clubs will be able to win the race but the Londoners seemingly have a plan that could potentially see them move past the Red Devils.
