Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is travelling to London to spark rumours of a late transfer in the summer window.
De Jong has been the subject of a fresh approach from Manchester United after boss Erik ten Hag urged the club to remain patient on a deal that has been in negotiations for over 16 weeks. As Mirror Football exclusively reported, United’s signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro had not ended the club’s pursuit of the Barca star. Indeed, De Jong liked a social media post of Casemiro’s arrival as a United player, sparking more speculation.
United have offices in London and Erik ten Hag recently instructed United to remain patient on a deal after holding fresh talks with the player but Premier League rivals Chelsea are believed to also be keen on a move for the Dutch midfielder.
