Compared to Manchester United, Chelsea are ready to sacrifice more to get De Jong

De Jong was Manchester United's main target during the summer transfer window.

LONDON - Chelsea seem to be serious about signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer. The Blues are reportedly ready to offer two of their players as a medium of exchange, namely Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta reported by tribalfootball , Monday (1/8/2022).


The Blaugrana are interested in the two Chelsea players despite securing Andreas Christensen from Chelsea as a free agent.


Barcelona president Joan Laporta praised the ability of Alonso and Azpilicueta. But he declined to comment further on the potential trade-off.

"They are under contract at Chelsea and we respect this and the new owners. I don't want to talk about players from other teams," Laporta said in New York.

He admitted to commenting on both of them only as footballers. He thinks Alonso and Azpilicueta are very good players. They showed their quality and talent at Chelsea.

"But I don't want to talk about it out of respect for Chelsea."

De Jong is Manchester United's main target during this summer's transfer market. United coach Erik ten Hag sees De Jong as an ideal replacement for the departing Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata.

But negotiations were complicated. Because, the player is reluctant to leave Cam Nou even though the club has opened the door to Old Trafford. In the midst of that issue, Chelsea entered as an enthusiast.
