Manchester City could yet again do one over their arch rivals Manchester United with latest report claiming they are considering a stunning move for Barcelona’s Frenkie De Jong.
Manchester United’s interest in the midfielder is well documented. They tried hard to sign him last summer with the Barcelona chief confirming received a £86m bid for him then. Barcelona were open to selling him then due to their financial problems but a deal could not be struck.
However, in a surprising twist, United’s city rivals have reportedly joined in the race to sign him.
According to a report in The Sun, Pep Guardiola is keen on signing the Barcelona star. But the report claims that Barcelona will want atleast £90m that they were willing to offer West Ham for Declan Rice.
