Juventus v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Group H

The Frenchman has been linked with a move to Barcelona for quite a while now and with speculations reaching a fever-pitch, reports from the Spanish media with Mundo Deportivo (via Daily Mail) in particular, claim that Barcelona have decided to pursue Ajax wonderkid Frenkie De Jong to bolster their midfield.

As per the report, Barcelona are willing to pay £100m to sign the 21-year-old.

Pep Segura in a recent radio interview with Cadena SER said,

"Pogba or De Jong? In general, we will always need players like De Jong because this is the profile we want, but we have always had players whose characteristics are not as faithful as those requested by the club, as with Seydou Keita who provided the balance needed to meet the challenges,"

"And the big competitions, like the Champions League, claim every time players of different profiles."

Manchester City are the other big team that's been credited with an interest in the youngster.
