Manchester United have made a significant breakthrough in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong - and can now finally shift their focus to other transfer targets.
The Red Devils are reportedly close to agreeing a deal worth around £68 million to sign the 25-year-old midfielder from Barcelona after further talks with Camp Nou officials. Once the transfer is completed, United can at last explore further opportunities in the market.
The Red Devils' decision to prioritise getting Netherlands international De Jong - viewed as the catalyst for new manager Erik ten Hag 's revolution - through the door before June 30 and their pre-season tour has halted progress on four potential deals.
