Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong has told Ronald Koeman that he doesn't want to leave the Nou Camp this summer, according to the former Barcelona manager. United and the cash-strapped Catalans are hopeful of coming to an agreement over a transfer for the Netherlands international soon.
De Jong, 25, has been identified as a priority target for the rebuild under Erik ten Hag and talks with the playmaker are progressing. United also want to sign free agent Christian Eriksen - as well as a new centre-back and goalkeeper to replace Nottingham Forest-bound loanee Dean Henderson.
De Jong is seemingly happy at the Nou Camp but Barcelona are in dire financial straits and the Dutchman is one of their most saleable assets. The emergence of La Masia graduates Pedri and Gavi in the first-team midfield have lessened the need for Barcelona to retain De Jong.
