The summer break transfer carousel is in full swing and this year there are many big names on the way to new contracts. One of them should be Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. He is expected to make a new appearance in the Manchester United jersey, who are looking to get back on top after a poor season.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano brought the information about the promising meetings. According to him, the transfer fee should stop at 65 million euros with another 20 million in bonuses.
The Dutchman would meet his former coach Erik ten Hag at the Red Devils, whom he last met in 2019 at Ajax. He became a key player for the Catalan outfit after his move to Barcelona.
However, Barcelona are still struggling with finances while looking to rotate the squad. This is also why the Dutch midfielder may pack up and move to the Isles. At Manchester United, he could plug the hole left by Paul Pogba, who has gone back to Juventus.
the 25-year-old has played 98 games for Barcelona, scoring eight goals. Despite his young age, he has already played 44 games for the national team. However, he has only scored one goal in the orange jersey.
Of course, only the potential matches will tell if the possible move to United will be to help the Manchester team.
But the speculated transfer could be a very interesting driver for the next Premier League season.
