Erik ten Hag and Manchester United have rekindled their interest in Frenkie de Jong. As reported by The Daily Mail, an initial offer has already been submitted to Barcelona. Manchester United's bid is around 50 million euros for De Jong, but FC Barcelona has turned it down. The club is open to selling the 27-year-old midfielder to alleviate their financial strain due to his substantial salary. Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, aims to recoup a significant portion of their investment in De Jong, targeting approximately 70 million euros. De Jong has played 213 matches for Barcelona, netting 17 goals and contributing 21 assists. He is currently recovering from an ankle injury that sidelined him from the European Championship in Germany.

Manchester United have reportedly reignited their quest to sign Frenkie de Jong after enquiring about the Barcelona star.

Manchester United remain keen on acquiring Frenkie de Jong and are looking to capitalize on Barcelona's willingness to offload the Dutch midfielder with a late move in the summer transfer window. Manager Erik ten Hag is the main proponent of United’s pursuit of De Jong, believing that the 27-year-old could become a crucial element of his project at Old Trafford. Reports suggest that Manchester United have already tabled an offer to Barcelona for De Jong, which was declined. The proposal included Antony as part of the deal. While Barcelona are eager to reduce their wage bill by selling De Jong, they are not interested in a loan or part-exchange deal unless it involves a player they genuinely want.

Manchester United are back in talks with Barcelona over the signing of Frenkie de Jong. The Catalan giants are in need of making a major sale this summer to boost their finances.

Last summer, the player received an offer of nearly 80 million EUR from Manchester United. Currently, he does not want to leave and is recovering from an ankle injury.

Manchester United have identified Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong as the player to replace Casemiro this summer. United's interest in De Jong is long standing, with current manager Erik ten Hag a huge fan of the player. United made De Jong their primary transfer target in the summer of 2022 and spent much of the window trying to convince him to join. However, De Jong refused continuously and he ended up staying put at Camp Nou. Even if Ten Hag, who worked together with De Jong at Ajax, is sacked this summer, Sport says that United still want to sign the midfielder. Barcelona are understood to have accepted an €85 million bid from Man Utd in July 2022, and made it clear that they wanted him to move to Old Trafford. But De Jong refused to join Man Utd and stayed at Barcelona, despite interest from Chelsea and Bayern Munich as well. United are now returning for the player, who has established himself as one of the best central midfielders in the world since joining Barcelona from Ajax in 2019. The 27-year-old is valued by Barcelona at €100m, and the Blaugrana would consider a sale for a massive fee as they have well-publicised financial problems.

Manchester United have received a boost in their protracted pursuit of Frenkie de Jong with Barcelona linked with a shock replacement for their Dutch midfield metronome. United have pursued De Jong almost since Erik ten Hag was installed as manager, the pair having previously achieved significant success together at Ajax. With Casemiro's performances on the wane, the need for a top class defensive midfielder at Old Trafford is becoming more pronounced, and Barca are still in debt to the tune of €552 million.

Frenkie de Jong has long been the club's top transfer target, and the need for a top quality defensive midfielder has been exacerbated by Casemiro's decline this season. Barcelona also have a €552 million debt to clear. But the Dutchman is 27, so two years above Ratcliffe's first rule, and the new boss is unlikely to sanction a move for a player valued at €48.5m by FootballTransfers' in-house algorithm. De Jong is an Erik ten Hag favourite, although admiration for the player goes beyond his fellow Dutchman at Old Trafford, and a successor might like to sign him too.

Manchester United are prepared to offer Bruno Fernandes to Barcelona as part of a swap deal for midfielder Frenkie de Jong, who remains a key target for manager Erik ten Hag.
