Manchester City ‘best positioned’ to sign de Jong, Manchester United also interested

According to Catalunya Radio, Manchester City are ‘best positioned’ to sign Frenkie de Jong. The highly-rated Ajax midfielder also has interest from Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona after rising through the youth ranks to become a regular player in the first-team. De Jong’s club form has led to him representing the Netherlands national team on two occasions, and it could lead to him making a big-money move to a European giant.

City have been keen on a central midfielder since the summer, with Pep Guardiola previously eyeing moves for Fred (then of Shakhtar Donetsk) and Jorginho (then of Napoli).
