Manchester United are continuing with their efforts to bring Frenkie de Jong to Old Trafford, but Barcelona are not believed to be giving up any ground when it comes to a transfer fee for the Dutch international.
With Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic leaving United this summer, midfield reinforcements will be required. Wolverhampton Wanderers star Ruben Neves has been strongly linked, but there is also plenty of talk around De Jong reuniting with manager Erik ten Hag after the pair reached the Champions League semi-finals with Ajax in 2019.
De Jong moved to Camp Nou for €75m (£64m) after that European run, but could be allowed to leave Barcelona as Xavi aims to build a squad to challenge for next season's La Liga title. However, according to the latest reports, Barca won't be moved on their transfer demands.
