As reported by the sports journalthe Chelsea has communicated to FC Barcelona that will present an official offer to try to reach an agreement and close the signing of Frankie de Jongone of the sales that the Blaugrana team needs to close in order not to have problems registering the new additions in this summer market.

Chelsea warns: They prepare an offer for Frenkie de Jong
Chelsea has had a lot of problems to close incorporations in this market, taking into account that they lost the bid against the same FC Barcelona in the incorporations of Raphinha and Jules Koundé. But they have revived their interest in the midfielder, who they know would be a sensational move to make a quality leap in midfield and remain the third best team in the Premier League.
The main problem is that they have to convince Frenkie de Jong to leave the Camp Nou, a task that Manchester United could not achieve, since they have not thrown in the towel and are preparing a new offensive. The Blue team has more to offer, considering that they will play in the next UEFA Champions League and that London seems to them a more attractive city to live.
FC Barcelona expects to sell the former Ajax for at least 80 million euros, taking into account that its sale will activate the possible arrival of Bernardo Silva. What will happen to the Dutch? Where will he play next season?
