That Barcelona would accept a good offer for Frenkie de Jong is a well-known secret. And there is no shortage of suitors for the Dutchman, who has already been approached by Manchester United and Manchester City, as well as Paris Saint-Germain, according to 'Footmercato'. In addition, according to 'Le Parisien', the player would like to share a dressing room with Kylian Mbappe.

This summer of 2022 could be one of the most memorable in the world of football because of the market that seems to be ahead of us. The futures of Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe, the main protagonists, have already been settled, but there are a number of secondary players to consider from June onwards.

Although Xavi Hernandez has always defended Frenkie de Jong's continuity at Barcelona in the media, it is a well-known secret that the Catalan club would let the Dutchman, who has a contract until 2026, leave the club if a good offer were to arrive.

Both Manchester United - who refuse to pay 80 million for him - and Manchester City - for whom the player would forgive part of his salary - have asked for the former Ajax player, who now has a new suitor in France's most powerful team.

'Footmercato' revealed that Paris Saint-Germain have De Jong's name on their agenda for next season. He is one of the favourites of Luis Campos, their new sporting director, to reinforce the Parisian midfield. In addition to this, it is worth noting the information offered by 'Le Parisien'.

The French newspaper explained that the Dutchman would like to play alongside Kylian Mbappée, who has played a starring role in recent matches. He has renewed his contract with the Parc des Princes until 2025 and will undoubtedly be the cornerstone of the project of a club that dream of the Champions League.
