Even though Frenkie De Jong seems still focused on staying at Barcelona this season, the interest from Chelsea seems to have aroused positive feelings in him.
Catalan outlet Mundo Deportivo claims that, in Barça’s dressing room, the midfielder ‘admits’ that in case he has to leave the club, the Stamford Bridge side would be ‘a good option’ for him.
Mundo Deportivo takes claims from the English press to say the Blues are willing to make an offer to Barça for De Jong, but the truth is that the Catalan outlet couldn’t get any exclusive information about the Blues actually placing a bid for the signing.
Another good factor for Chelsea is that despite the interest from Manchester United in the player, he continues to reject that idea.
It’s claimed that he told his teammates he ‘will not accept’ a move to the Red Devils ‘in any case’.
