„Manchester United“ intensively seeks to acquire „Barcelona“ midfielder Frenkie de Jong. In recent weeks, there have been various speculations about the player's future, and on Wednesday's press conference, the president of „Barça“ shared his thoughts. „De Jong is a „Barcelona“ player and we, if not necessary, do not want to sell him“, - said Laporta. „We know that he has offers from various teams. If ever any of them interests us, we would sell him. But at the moment, we are not planning to do so“.
The Catalans have already rejected two offers from „Manchester United“ for the Dutchman. It is claimed that Frenkie de Jong is the main target of the new „Red Devils“ coach, Erik ten Haag. This week, Laporta once again stated that De Jong will not be sold, despite interest from „Manchester United“ and other clubs.
He said: „Not only „United“ wants De Jong. We do not intend to sell him, he wants to stay. All experts consider Frenkie as one of the best midfielders in the world. We are happy to have him. „I will do everything I can to make Frenkie stay here, but there is also a salary issue that needs to be resolved.“"
