Frenkie de Jong has become the main target of Manchester United for next season.

The Dutch midfielder is expected to leave Barcelona this summer as he is not part of coach Xavi Hernandez’s plans.

And the Spanish media “Sport” reports that the “Red Devils” will start talks with Barcelona for the footballer next week.

Barca aims to extract as much money as possible from the sale of the former Ajax footballer, given the financial crisis in which the Catalan club is going.

In addition to De Jong, Barca can sell other players to balance their finances, and then think about possible reinforcements.

The player’s wish is to stay at the Camp Nou, but current circumstances may push him to end up at Old Trafford, where he would work with his former coach, Erik Ten Hag.
