FC Barcelona is said to have received a formal offer from Manchester United to secure the services of the Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong. According to sources close to the Catalan club, the proposal from the 'Red Devils' would be around 50 million euros, a figure that clearly seems insufficient to meet Barça's expectations.
Frenkie de Jong, who ed Barcelona in 2019 from Ajax for a sum close to 75 million euros, has established himself as a key player in the Blaugrana's scheme. His ability to handle the ball, vision of the game, and versatility in midfield have made him an indispensable player for the Catalan team under Xavi Hernández's guidance, although now with Hansi Flick, everything is up in the air.

Erik Ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has expressed his interest several times in reuniting with De Jong, whom he previously coached during his time at Ajax. The Dutchman believes that adding the midfielder could be crucial to strengthening his team's midfield and providing it with greater stability and control in high-level matches.
However, the 50 million euro offer presented by Manchester United falls well below what Barcelona would consider an appropriate amount to let De Jong depart. The Catalan club has valued the player at a minimum of 80 million euros, indicating that unless the English team improves its proposal, reaching an agreement is unlikely.
The transfer market is in full swing, and with several weeks still ahead, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United will increase their offer to meet Barcelona's expectations. For now, Frenkie de Jong remains a key player in the Blaugrana's setup.
