Frenkie de Jong, the 26-year-old Dutch midfielder, reiterated his commitment to FC Barcelona before the match in Naples. However, speculation about a possible change of team at the end of the season is gaining strength. De Jong, being one of the most coveted players in the Barça squad, could be a solution to alleviate the complicated financial situation of the Catalan club.
According to reports from FootballTransfers, Manchester United have renewed their interest in acquiring the services of De Jong, with the intention of making him a key player for the team next season. The recent entry of billionaire Jim Radcliffe as majority shareholder of Manchester United promises a significant investment in signings during the summer, and the Dutch midfielder is among the priority targets for the Old Trafford team.
Red Devils target De Jong and Kane
It is worth remembering that Frenkie de Jong has been a target of interest for Manchester United for some time. Two seasons ago, he was close to joining the English club, but negotiations did not come to fruition and the player chose to stay at Barcelona. Currently, De Jong wears the captain’s armband and plays a crucial role in the tactical schemes designed by Xavi Hernández.
In addition to the interest in De Jong, reports suggest that Manchester United are also targeting English striker Harry Kane, who currently plays for Bayern Munich. This ambitious signing plan points to a determination on the part of the English club to return to the elite of European football and the intention is to use the checkbook to do so.
