Frenkie de Jong is thought to favour a move to Manchester United over Chelsea.
New Blues owner Todd Boehly has jetted out to Barcelona to discuss potential transfers. The Catalan giants have already made one acquisition from Stamford Bridge in the form of Andreas Christensen on a free transfer, but are also thought to be in for Blues duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso. Barcelona director Mateu Alemany, consultant Jordi Cruyff and president Joan Laporta were all present for the meeting with Boehly.
Going the other way, Chelsea are thought to be keen on on hijacking United's long-running move for De Jong but their efforts could come immediately unstuck by the fact the Dutchman heavily favours a move to Manchester.
