Manchester United make €50m offer for Barcelona midfielder

Manchester United are reportedly keen on strengthening their midfield options during the upcoming summer transfer window.

With a challenging season in the Premier League, currently sitting 13th in the table, the Red Devils are looking to make moves that could help revamp their squad.

The departure of Erik ten Hag and the underwhelming results under his replacement, Ruben Amorim, have sparked discussions about a potential overhaul of players.

This shift has led to some familiar targets re-emerging, with one name now back in the spotlight.

Following previous unsuccessful attempts to sign Frenkie de Jong, Manchester United have reportedly reignited their interest in the Dutchman.

This player was once a potential target under Ten Hag, who had already made several moves to bring in players familiar to him from his time at Ajax.

The Netherlands international has long been admired by United, but a move never materialised due to De Jong’s preference for staying at Barcelona.

Despite this, El Nacional has reported that Manchester United are now offering €50m (£42m) to sign the midfielder from Barcelona.

The club’s interest has reportedly intensified after Frenkie De Jong’s limited playing time and injury struggles this season.

At the same time, Barcelona’s willingness to let him go remains uncertain, with the club initially seeking a higher fee of around €80m when Ten Hag was in charge.

However, United are hopeful that the €50m offer could be enough to spark negotiations, although Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco are unlikely to accept that figure immediately.

Frenkie De Jong’s future remains uncertain, but Manchester United are continuing to pursue the midfielder.
