Manchester United are keen on landing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong during this summer's transfer window.
The Red Devils are expected to lose the services of Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba this summer. This should urge them to bolster the midfield.
With the arrival of Erik ten Hag as manager, the focus could be on technical players. Sport claims that De Jong has emerged as a priority target.
The Dutchman has been a key player for the Blaugrana, but reports claim that he could be sold for a significant fee in the next transfer window.
The Catalan giants need to balance their financial books before the end of June. They are planning a big-money departure before that period.
De Jong was signed from Ajax for £72m with add-ons, and it is claimed that United must pay more than that figure to convince the Blaugrana.
United are likely to pursue two midfielders this summer. They also have their sights on West Ham's Declan Rice, but he could cost over £100m.
