Frenkie de Jong’s future at Barcelona remains uncertain while Manchester United and Chelsea maintain their interest in securing his services this month.
Wednesday’s edition of Sport provides a short update on the midfielder and their title says Chelsea are ‘waiting’ for him.
Although the Red Devils are the most interested team and have the most urgency to land the 25-year-old, the Blues are still in the picture to acquire his signature.
Chelsea have not withdrawn yet because they ‘know’ that the Netherlands international, if he were to leave the Camp Nou, would be ‘more predisposed’ to joining them over Erik ten Hag’s side.
The former Ajax man’s desire to play in the Champions League could have a ‘decisive influence’ on his final decision.
Thomas Tuchel’s side can offer that to the player, but not Manchester United.
Sport once again say Barcelona are looking to receive a fee in the region of €80m, although Chelsea would surely try to pay a little less.
