De Jong’s future is still up in the air between Barcelona and United, with Erik ten Hag designating the midfielder as his priority summer transfer target.
Barca has requested that Maguire be included in the agreement.
According to the UK Sun, Barcelona is attempting to get Harry Maguire from Manchester United as part of the Frenkie de Jong trade.
United, though, turned down the club’s proposal, and the two parties are now close to settling on a £69 million straight cash transaction.
Eric Bailly, Phil Jones, Axel Tuanzebe, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are among the defenders who have been handed permission to depart Old Trafford this summer.
Ten Hag, though, is adamant that Maguire stay.
After only six months at the club, Maguire, who cost United £80 million in 2019, was elected captain.
