The Man Utd will have to restructure the midfield after the departures of Paul Pogba, who left as a free agent and is torn between Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus Turin, Jesse Lingard and Nemanja Matic, whose signing for AS Roma has been made officer a few hours ago. The main objective of Erik ten Hag is the signing of Frenkie de Jongwho he trusts to lead the Red Devils midfield.
Frenkie De Jong is the main asset of the FC Barcelona to enter funds, necessary to close the signings of both Christensen and Kessié, which have been closed for weeks waiting for Barça to have the necessary money to meet the expenses complying with the financial ‘fair play’. De Jong’s departure will range between 75 and 80 million euros, which Manchester United seems to be willing to pay, while Barça is considering two footballers from Manchester City to replace the departure of the Dutchman, according to information from the newspaper ‘The Mirror’.
The two footballers that Barça is considering to replace De Jong
– Ilkay Gundogan: The German midfielder was one of the architects of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City winning the Premier League. The German midfielder revolutionized the match against Aston Villa and has shown throughout the season to be a committed player of great quality, which has placed him in the eye of the market. There are several teams that bid for him, such as Borussia Dortmund or Bayern Munich itself, to which Barça is added, which is considering his signing after the sale of Frenkie De Jong
– Bernard Silva: The attacking midfielder of Manchester City is another of the great players that FC Barcelona is considering to replace the departure of the Dutch midfielder. The Portuguese is one of the best players in the citizen team, which has priced him at a price very far from what Barça initially expected. Despite this, the Catalans could try to negotiate with those at the Etihad Stadium, but it seems like an almost impossible transfer.
