Two years ago, Erik ten Hag intended to sign Frenkie de Jong as Manchester United’s first significant midfield addition.

The Dutch international, though, decided to stay with Barcelona, and the Red Devils had to make a big financial commitment to entice Casemiro away from Real Madrid.

According to sources in the Spanish media, De Jong is once again being considered for an Old Trafford contract. The Brazil veteran is past his peak and has to be replaced as soon as possible.

According to the news image below from today’s edition of Sport, Man Utd, Chelsea, and PSG are keeping an eye on the 26-year-old, who is now the highest paid player at the Nou Camp.

According to the Catalan outlet, De Jong is scheduled to earn 20 million euros a year, or approximately £328,00,000, during the final two years of his deal.

The Blaugrana want to give the midfielder a longer contract that lasts until 2029 in order to increase his remuneration, but they haven’t been able to work out a deal with him yet.

Barca was prepared to trade De Jong to United back in 2022, and according to Sport, the Premier League’s biggest clubs are still very much interested in acquiring him.

According to reports, Man Utd is among the teams willing to make a bid to recruit the former Ajax player if the right opportunity presents itself; his representatives are already “directly” aware of this.

The Oranje midfielder was a vital component of the Barcelona team that won La Liga the previous season and was a standout for Erik ten Hag while he was at Amsterdam.
