Barcelona are reportedly open to “big-money” offers for Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong.

De Jong, who has 40 caps for the Netherlands, arrived at Barcelona from Ajax for a €75million fee in 2019, accumulating 137 appearances for the club in all competitions.

The midfielder has been a key pillar in Barcelona’s line-up this season, appearing 44 times, but the Catalan giants may be ready to move on as the interest from United intensifies.

The Blaugrana are open-minded about potentially parting ways with De Jong, who is being closely linked with his former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag for his new venture at United.

He is one of the main players on the Red Devils’ wish-list, which Fichajes reports also includes Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse, Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen.

The Telegraph adds that Ten Hag has identified eight players “he can trust” at the club, while being on the fence about Marcus Rashford’s future.
