Frenkie de Jong is the priority target for Manchester United in the summer window and in recent weeks, they have been joined by Chelsea in the chase for the Barcelona player.
Two days ago, Sport reported the Red Devils and the Blues ‘await decision’ of the 25-year-old over a potential transfer.
Amid interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, the midfielder has insisted so far that he wants to stay at the Camp Nou.
The Netherlands international came off the bench in his side’s 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano in the league tie on Saturday.
Mundo Deportivo’s Roger Torelló claims the ex-Ajax man starred for the hosts at the Camp Nou. Although he wasn’t best in his first three years at the Catalan club, De Jong doesn’t give up and wants to fight.
In the midst of the debate over De Jong’s continuity at the club, Torelló explains Barca are ‘pushing him to accept Manchester United’s offer. There’s no mention of the Blues in Mundo’s report.
Over at Sport, they explain Barcelona have absolute conviction to sign Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso next week.
It’s claimed the two clubs have been delaying the deal to see what happens with De Jong. 
Thomas Tuchel’s side are ‘close to throwing in the towel’, with De Jong, and are facing Alonso’s exit as a pure and simple transfer. The left-back’s deal will be closed for €8m.
