BREAKING NEWS: reported by football guru Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are reportedly ready to break the bank to bring Frenkie de Jong to Stamford Bridge after Chelsea legend made a stunning revelation. The Dutch midfielder has been a target for the club for some time, and it seems that they are now ready to put their money where their mouth is. The reported fee of €100 million would be a significant outlay, but Chelsea are desperate to add quality to their midfield. De Jong is seen as the ideal player to help them challenge for the Premier League title. Chelsea Prepared to Break the Bank for De Jong – €100m on the Table”.
The Spanish media claims that Chelsea is prepared to pay a hefty price for Frenkie de Jong.
The Dutch player has reportedly expressed his desire to depart Barcelona, reigniting speculation linking him to Manchester United. Since 2022, Erik ten Hag has been eager to reunite with his former Ajax protege, and this interest remains unabated.
However, Manchester United isn’t the sole interested party; there’s a valid argument that De Jong’s skillset would be a good fit for Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Additionally, clubs like Liverpool, PSG, and Bayern Munich are rumored to be seeking a top-tier midfielder.
Adding a new twist to the saga, Chelsea is reportedly monitoring the Dutchman’s situation closely and is poised to make a move.
According to reports, Chelsea is prepared to spend up to €100 million for De Jong, although it’s acknowledged that completing the deal will be challenging. Nonetheless, it’s been suggested that Barcelona may be compelled to make significant sales in the summer transfer window.
Should Chelsea pursue De Jong, it could set the stage for a monumental swap deal. Reports indicate that Enzo Fernandez is intrigued by the idea of joining Barcelona. This revelation follows claims from FootballTransfers that the Argentine, reportedly discontent at Chelsea according to his father, has begun exploring other options.
Although the Spanish outlet hasn’t explicitly linked the two situations, it’s plausible that Barcelona could reinvest the funds from De Jong’s potential departure into securing Fernandez’s services if the Dutchman indeed exits the club.
