It looks like Frenkie de Jong could gift Barcelona with a move away to Chelsea. The Catalans have not been shy of telling their Dutch midfielder to leave the club after months of pursuing a move to Manchester United. Erik ten Hag would like a reunion with the former Ajax player but de Jong just does not want to budge.
Rumours have now crept up indicating that the 25-year-old wouldn't actually mind a move to Chelsea if the Blues came knocking. Chelsea fans are elated by the idea of stealing a transfer target from one of their rivals; however, the question is - is Frenkie de Jong the right fit for Thomas Tuchel's team right now? There are a number of ways that the Blues could line up next season with their new signings. Reports even suggest a back 4 may be on the cards too.
In a midfield three there will be enough room to keep squad members happy, but a midfield 2 makes life more difficult for the Chelsea manager. A move for de Jong means three things, congestion in midfield, a perfect understudy for Jorginho and an indication that Declan Rice is no longer a target.
