The Dutch footballer has reportedly expressed his wish to leave Barcelona, sparking renewed speculation about a potential move to Manchester United. Since 2022, Erik ten Hag has been keen to reunite with his former Ajax protege, and this interest persists.
However, Manchester United is not the only interested party; there is a valid argument that De Jong’s skills could suit Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Moreover, clubs such as Liverpool, PSG, and Bayern Munich are rumored to be in the hunt for a top-tier midfielder.
Adding a new dimension to the story, Chelsea is said to be closely monitoring De Jong’s situation and is ready to make a move. Reports suggest that Chelsea is willing to spend up to €100 million for De Jong, though completing the deal could pose challenges. Nevertheless, there are indications that Barcelona might need to make significant sales in the summer transfer window.
If Chelsea pursues De Jong, it could pave the way for a significant swap deal. Reports suggest that Enzo Fernandez is interested in joining Barcelona. This revelation comes amid claims that the Argentine, reportedly unhappy at Chelsea according to his father, is exploring other options.
While the Spanish outlet hasn’t explicitly connected the two situations, it’s conceivable that Barcelona could reinvest the funds from De Jong’s potential departure into securing Fernandez’s services if the Dutchman indeed leaves the club.
