Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona has been on the target list of Manchester United who offered a guarantee fee of £56 million for the young star. However, both the clubs are yet to finalize the deal. However, Chelsea has shown an interest in the 25-year-old player. It also looks like Blaugrana also has Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso under the radar. Chelsea has an edge over Manchester United when it comes to the qualification for the Champion League next season.
Erik ten Hag wants to position De Jong from the number six role, where he was amazing while he was at Ajax. It would be easier for the player to adapt to the tactics. Also, the board doesn't wish to pay too much for the player as they have done previously with other players.
