Liverpool and Manchester United have both been interested in Frenkie de Jong for a long time. Manchester City is supposedly trying to sign him by offering Barcelona one of their players in a trade.
Coach Pep Guardiola is friendly with his old team, and since he moved to the Etihad, a number of players have moved between the two.
People like Joao Cancelo, Sergio Aguero, Ferran Torres, and Ilkay Gundogan have left City for Barcelona in the past few years
TEAMtalk said that the Catalans really like Bernardo Silva and have been trying to find ways to get him to play for them at Camp Nou.
The Portuguese player is still very important for Man City, but he may be ready for a new task somewhere else.
Silva is 29 years old and has a £50 million release option in his deal. Paris Saint-Germain also wants to sign him this summer.
Barcelona is still having money problems, so that fee might be too high for them to pay. However, they might be tempted to take him if Manchester City offer him as part of a trade.
Man City “offer” Bernardo Silva to Barcelona in a trade
Our friends at Football365 said that stories from Spain say that Man City has made a “offer” of Silva plus cash for Barcelona player De Jong.
Guardiola is reportedly “very interested” in De Jong. Man City are the “latest” team to show interest in the player, following Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and PSG.
Erik ten Hag wanted to sign the 27-year-old when he joined the Red Devils, but he was not able to make a deal happen.
The boss of Man City wants Rodri to have a “luxury partner” in the middle of the field. Barcelona does not think it is a bad idea to sell De Jong if it means getting a lot of new players
Some of the teams that want to sign the Dutchman say that Barcelona’s asking price of €90m (about £76.6m) is too high for most of them to accept.
Man City is “ready” to make an offer of €30m (about £25.5m) plus Silva for De Jong, which works out to an offer of £75.5m when you take into account his £50m release option.
