City turn attention back on De Jong

Frenkie de Jong's future has been a hot topic of conversation in European football during recent weeks. The centremidfielder has been linked to some of the biggest clubs on the continent, such as Juventus and Manchester United.

A move to United has been considered the most likely, due to the fact that his former manager at Ajax, Erik ten Hag, will be taking the reins at the club come the summer. However, to complicate things for the Red Devils, their local rivals Manchester City have once again shown interest in the Dutchman.

According to the daily paper, 'Sport', the City board have made their intentions known to Joan Laporta, Barca president, and enquired about the price tag of the midfielder.

The Sky Blues may have even already made their first offer which could be in the region of 70-80 million euros. Should the Catalan club agree to this, the Premier League will gain yet another top quality player.
