Gary Neville drops Frenkie de Jong to Chelsea transfer hint amid Manchester United pursuit

Gary Neville has hinted that Chelsea could become Frenkie de Jong's next destination as he continues to be linked with a move away from Barcelona. The 25-year-old is a big target for Manchester United this summer, but the Premier League club have failed to reach an agreement with Barcelona so far.

Chelsea have also been loosely linked with a move for De Jong and football.london understands there is a long-term interest from the Blues in the Netherlands international. Thomas Tuchel has plenty of options in the centre of midfield, but there is a school of thought that it can be massively improved this summer.

De Jong is someone who has an undeniable talent, and at 25, he's still fairly young. Barca, whose financial troubles have been well documented, may be looking to get some of their star players off their books to raise funds.
