De Jong transfer saga rolls on amid Chelsea and Man Utd interest

July 27, 2022

The tense Frenkie de Jong transfer saga continues with uncertainty on his Barcelona future.

The 25-year-old Dutchman has two years to run on his Barcelona contract, having postponed part of his deal during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

De Jong is unwilling to accept another pay cut to remain at Camp Nou, though, amid the club’s hefty off-season transfer spending.

Decisions will be made on Frenkie de Jong‘s future at Barcelona after their United States tour, with interest from Chelsea alongside Manchester United, reports Sport.

De Jong is reluctant to leave Camp Nou, particularly for a move to Old Trafford, despite ending last season out of favour.

However, the Dutchman is more open to Chelsea’s advances, but the Blues are unwilling to pay as much as United, leaving the Blaugrana in a bind.
