Manchester United have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of Frenkie de Jong with Barcelona reportedly ‘willing’ to sell the midfielder for a cut-price fee.
The Manchester Evening News understands United have contacted the Catalan club about De Jong’s potential availability ahead of Erik ten Hag’s arrival at Old Trafford. Reports suggesting an imminent deal could be in the works are thought to be wide of the mark, although United are looking to move swiftly in their search for a new midfielder.
And it seems Barcelona are on board with a potential deal, with the La Liga giants claimed to be willing to accept a loss on the Netherlands international. De Jong made the move to Barca from Ajax for £65million back in 2019.
