<h4><span style="font-size: 20px;">De Jong&#8217;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.</span></h4>

<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">According to the UK Sun, Barcelona is attempting to get Harry Maguire from Manchester United as part of the Frenkie de Jong trade.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">United, though, turned down the club&#8217;s proposal, and the two parties are now close to settling on a £69 million straight cash transaction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">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.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Ten Hag, though, is adamant that Maguire stay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">After only six months at the club, Maguire, who cost United £80 million in 2019, was elected captain.</span></p>
