Barcelona ‘to consider Frenkie de Jong transfer exit next summer if huge offer comes in’ amid Premier League interest

BARCELONA could sell Frenkie de Jong next summer, according to reports.

The Catalan giants are still struggling financially and need to offload players if they are to make signings.

De Jong, 24, was previously considered untouchable but his decline in form means Barcelona may be more open to a sale, report Fichajes.

And given the Dutchman is one of the highest earners in the squad, selling him would open up a large chunk of the wage bill.

Barca also believe they could sell de Jong for a considerable fee given he arrived at the Nou Camp for £65million just two years ago.

And given there are a number of potential suitors, Barcelona could use that interest to drive up their asking price.

Manchester United have been linked with a move for the midfielder who could act as a replacement for Paul Pogba.

Pep Guardiola could also entice de Jong to the Etihad with Manchester City one of a few clubs who would be able to afford his £75m price tag.

And if the former Ajax star was to leave Barcelona would be able to call on ready-made replacements.

Youth graduates Pedri and Gavi have impressed this season with another youngster Nico also rated highly by the club.

Nico is tipped to be the next Sergio Busquests and last summer was given a new contract which included a £430m release clause.

United were also linked to the teenager when he was just 16-years-old, which suggests he has a big future ahead of him.
