Frankie de Jong could find himself in the other side of Manchester this summer MCFC
Guardiola wants a replacement for Gundogan at CityErik ten Hag was desperate to make the 26-year-old his marquee signing last year as Barcelona contemplated selling top assets to raise cash.
However, De Jong was not keen on leaving the Nou Camp for Old Trafford, despite the chance to reunite with his old boss at Ajax. The Sun further reports that the Netherlands international is still happy at Barcelona while he earns £400,000-a-week after tax, has three years left on his contract, and is a favourite of coach Xavi's.
But a sizeable bid could persuade the Blaugrana to part ways with De Jong, especially as it would lighten their wage bill considerably."He was very clear with me. He wanted to stay with us and there was no doubt," he said."He is in a great moment, like the whole team. I think he is having a good time on the field, which is the most important thing."
