Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong seems to be a highly sought-after player at the moment, with reports that Manchester United are willing to offer four of their own players to help facilitate his reunion with his former Ajax manager, Erik ten Hag.
The financial difficulties faced by the Catalan club have been widely discussed, and de Jong is one of the few players who could fetch a substantial amount in the transfer market. This would undoubtedly weaken Barcelona’s midfield, but tough decisions will have to be made by Joan Laporta and the board.
While a new manager taking over from Xavi may have their own preferences, ultimately the club’s interests are likely to take precedence. According to the Daily Express, Manchester United are prepared to offer up to four players to Barcelona: Mason Greenwood, Antony, Scott McTominay, and Jadon Sancho.
All four players possess skills that could benefit Barcelona, but financial considerations are likely to be the primary factor. It remains uncertain which player, if any, Barcelona will choose, as a significant cash injection may be preferable.
However, it should be noted that any potential transfer is contingent upon de Jong’s agreement to the move.
