Frenkie de Jong’s preferred move revealed
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Frenkie de Jong, a Barcelona star, wants to join Manchester City this summer if he decides to leave the club.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Manchester United had shown an interest in De Jong in recent weeks, following the appointment of Erik ten Hag.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The midfielder is said to be on the verge of joining Manchester United, with a deal described as &#8220;95 percent likely.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Dutch international, however, prefers to join Manchester City over Manchester United, according to The Athletic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Man City are thought to be the more likely destination for De Jong, with manager Pep Guardiola eager to replace Fernandinho.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">However, Manchester United can only finish in the Europa League this season, making it &#8216;difficult&#8217; to convince De Jong to join the Old Trafford club.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He spent 18 months at Ajax under Ten Hag before moving to Barcelona in 2019.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">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.</span></p>
