Jordi Cruyff has insisted Barcelona will not sell Frenkie de Jong in the summer transfer window after the team’s 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.
There has been continuing speculation that the Dutchman could be sold to raise funds with Manchester United reportedly interested in the midfielder.
Reports on Sunday suggested that Barca have put De Jong’s name on the table in various meetings and would be willing to sell for around €70 million.
The speculation has been flying about despite the fact that Xavi spoke about De Jong at his pre-game presser and insisted the midfielder is a key part of his plans.
