Arsenal have been dealt a major blow in the pursuit for Frenkie de Jong after reports have emerged about his next transfer move. The Dutchman has been linked to both Arsenal and Manchester United in recent weeks, but if reports to believed then De Jong seems to be heading to Manchester.
According to Spanish news outlet Sport, Manchester United and Barcelona are very close to reaching an agreement for De Jong. The fee is believed to be around €80million (£68million).
These reports have emerged after the Mirror had reported that Arsenal had joined the race against Manchester United to sign De Jong in the summer transfer window. But, with the Dutchman seemingly on his way to Erik ten Hag’s side, the Gunners may have to look elsewhere in their pursuit of signing a midfielder.
