Enzo, De Jong swap to suit all parties as Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona in battles for midfield trio
Enzo Fernandez and his agent in truth should avail on the awfully same page as Chelsea could bargain Barcelona a swap bargain, while Amadou Onana is unified upwards in unanimously of this in some means.
DE JONG WANTS OUT
It really feels as but it’s been a while since we, and every other purveyor of send gossip, inanely tapped away on fulcrum-boards over the latest mild breakthrough in The Frenkie De Jong Legend, which – in fairness to the male himself – compelled everybody else retrieving channelled away over a proposed glide to Manchester United, while he lingered utterly repeating: he didn’t pine to disclaim Barcelona, and of training course not for Worn Trafford.
That may now have switched but – auxiliary viable the first little bit bit than the second – with reports opining Barcelona, amidst their perpetuating financial unhappiness, are eager to sell any kind of of their players preserve for Pedri, Gavi and Yamine Lamal, and auxiliary notably, De Jong literally wants to disclaim.
De Jong, that’s 26, prized at £68m and is under dedication until the summertime of 2026, is one of the nightclub’s the majority of salable assets, and an winsome guy to be rid of for Barcelona, imparted he’s one of the highest conceivable earners at the Nou Camp.
And a fulcrum antagonism to previous years – of training course the summertime of 2022 as shortly as United and Erik ten Hag were pressing – De Jong now wants out.
That’s according to Relevo, that case the midfielder is ‘disppointed with the nightclub’s current position and proposes guesses have not been fulfilled, specifically as shortly as it comes to tricky for the Champs League’.
Paris Saint-Germain will conceivably allegedly indicator upwards with United in the running, along with Chelsea, that are unanimously established to quote €100m (£86m) since they won’t have paid over-the-chances for a central midfielder for a year by the time the summertime rolls about.
HITC case Toolbox have also ‘asked’ about De Jong, with remarks from 2019 made service of to evidence them as his Premier League partiality.
“In my mind, I have had the obeying list for a long time: Ajax-Toolbox-Barcelona; call it the Marc Overmars route,” De Jong oriented Voetbal International.
‘IMPOSSIBLE’ ENZO
Chelsea may just be mobile lining De Jong upwards as a replacement for Enzo Fernandez, whose agent categorically lowered claims his person was ‘amenable’ to a glide away from Stamford Footway, presumably moments before a fresh report has administered assume he has ‘readily available himself’ to Barcelona.
Sporting chore case the Argentina international has been ‘seduced’ by the hunch of sending to the Nou Camp, with the Chelsea celebrity energetic he ‘wants to disclaim’ the Premier League nightclub, advising his agent to administer a glide to Barcelona confiscate place, with him ‘not evanescent on upwards’ on his prefered glide.
The report executes concede that this glide is ‘highly not likely’ with Fernandez under dedication with Chelsea until 2032, but after that ‘the word unobtainable executes not exist in football’.
ONANA ON RADARS
Barcelona, or auxiliary specifically their displaying off director Deco, have also interpreted Everton’s Amadou Onana as top central midfield target.
It’s Sporting chore as shortly as once more rendering the case, but this one at the awfully least has some legs imparted Onana’s noticeable desire to disclaim the nightclub in January, had there been a optimum bargain administered for him.
Deco thinks the Belgian ‘can channelling auxiliary regularity and physicality to the nightclub’s midfield’, but the Catalans will conceivably disclaim tournament from typical suspects Toolbox and Chelsea, and Everton’s frisking price of over €60m may authenticate to be too wrap up in any kind of sheath.
