Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is reportedly keen on signing for Manchester City this summer.
The Dutch midfielder has long been linked with a move away from Camp Nou, despite only signing for the Spanish giants in 2019, with Manchester United the club most heavily linked with moving for the Ajax academy graduate in recent times.
It remains to be seen what happens regarding the future of the 27-year-old in the coming weeks, which will all depend on which clubs come forward with proposals to secure his services.
City have been named as one side De Jong "wants to join", dealing United a potential blow should they choose to reignite their long-standing interest in the player.

Indeed, a Spanish report via Football365 has stated Barcelona are willing to cash in on the Netherlands international and wish to "get him off their back before he begins to devalue himself".
The article adds Barcelona "know City will not pay" his €400million release clause, though are not prepared to do a deal for below €100m. Speaking out on his future in February, De Jong said: “My future? The truth is that I’m a bit p*ssed off with what you people [journalists] write in general! A lot of things are coming out that are not true, it’s irritating me,” De Jong told reporters in February. “Everything that is said in the media about my salary and my future are lies. It’s a lot of smoke.
“I know that a lot of things are made up in the media, you write things that are not true. You are doing it in general with a lot of players, coaches even.
