Frenkie de Jong’s preferred move revealed

Frenkie de Jong, a Barcelona star, wants to join Manchester City this summer if he decides to leave the club.

Manchester United had shown an interest in De Jong in recent weeks, following the appointment of Erik ten Hag.

Frenkie de Jong’s preferred move revealed

The midfielder is said to be on the verge of joining Manchester United, with a deal described as “95 percent likely.”

The Dutch international, however, prefers to join Manchester City over Manchester United, according to The Athletic.

Man City are thought to be the more likely destination for De Jong, with manager Pep Guardiola eager to replace Fernandinho.

However, Manchester United can only finish in the Europa League this season, making it ‘difficult’ to convince De Jong to join the Old Trafford club.

He spent 18 months at Ajax under Ten Hag before moving to Barcelona in 2019.

Meanwhile, Barcelona is strapped for cash, and the midfielder is one of their most valuable but expendable assets, with the Catalan club hoping to recoup up to £65 million from his departure.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
