Ajax midfielder Frenkie de Jong looks to have accepted a £67million transfer to Barcelona, snubbing the likes of Manchester United as an official announcement looks imminent.
The Netherlands international is one of the most highly rated young players in Europe at the moment, and has been strongly linked with United, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in recent times.
Well-connected Barca reporter Mootaz Chehade, however, claims the deal is now close to becoming official, with an announcement expected this week.
This is a blow for United, who need a new signing in midfield after a total lack of impact from summer signing Fred this season.
Meanwhile, players like Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera have also had mixed seasons, and De Jong is clearly a quality young player who’d be an ideal long-term solution in that position.
