As it stands, Barcelona are open to selling the Dutch star, which could pave way for Manchester United to swoop in.

De Jong's future uncertain

Midfielder Frenkie de Jong could leave Barcelona during the summer transfer window, according to Relevo.

The Dutch player's contract runs until June 30, 2026, and the Catalan club's management has taken steps to secure a new agreement that would ensure De Jong doesn't leave on a free transfer at the end of the 2025/26 season.

However, a deal on this matter has not yet been reached, with both parties failing to reach an agreement.

Barcelona won't actively seek a new club for De Jong, but they may sell him if a financially advantageous offer comes in.

The 28-year-old midfielder made 45 appearances for Barcelona during the 2024/25 season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is €45 million.
