Manchester United are yet to make a formal offer for Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, according to a new report from Spain.
The Dutchman is believed to be at the top of incoming manager Erik ten Hag’s summer transfer wish list.
United will lose Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba when their contracts expire at the end of this month and De Jong is seen as a world class potential replacement.
Barcelona’s financial struggles mean that they are willing to sell the 25-year-old.
“The English team, who are moving in private to fit all the pieces, have not yet made, according to sources from the Blaugrana club’s sports management, any official proposal aimed at carrying out the operation.
“It is true that there have been contacts, calls and efforts to assess the options that the ‘Red Devils’ have to take over the Dutch midfielder, but to date nothing has materialized.
“Barça are waiting for Manchester United to send a formal offer to start a negotiation with all the cards on the table.
