Barca president Joan Laporta spoke again about the midfielder’s future, stating: “Frenkie is our player and we want him to stay at Barcelona, he wants to stay too. With him and his teammates, we have a very strong midfield line. He has offers, but we want him to stay at the club.” Barca are reportedly keen to see De Jong cut if he wants to stay at the club. While Manchester United have agreed an initial fee of £63m, Chelsea are thought to be his preferred destination due to Champions League football.
