Chelsea ‘very interested’ in Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong - report

Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona remains uncertain with rumors on Thursday suggesting Chelsea are “very interested” in the Dutchman.

Relevo are reporting the Blues are super keen, while Diario Sport also reckon Thomas Tuchel’s side could beat Manchester United to the midfielder.

Barca are thought to be willing to sell De Jong if the price is right, about €80m should do it, and Chelsea could offer €60m plus Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.

We know that De Jong does not want to leave, particularly to a Manchester United side that’s enduring a tough time, but Chelsea may well be a more attractive destination.
