"The Netherlands international is a key player for Barca, but was recently linked with Man Utd in a report from Football Insider, while another from Fichajes also claimed Bayern Munich were keen on him. De Jong could be an ideal signing for United due to their current issues in midfield, but it looks like it won't be possible, judging by Fabrizio Romano's latest update on the player via his official account on X."
"See below for Romano's post about De Jong closing in on a new contract with Barcelona ??? Barcelona are closing in on the agreement with Frenkie de Jong over new deal until June 2029. Verbal agreement in place, final formal details being sorted then all signed with lawyers on it. New deal already approved club side, as @monfortcarlos has reported."
Frenkie de Jong has been linked repeatedly with moves to Manchester United and interest from other top clubs, including Bayern Munich. Progress toward a new Barcelona agreement appears advanced, with a verbal deal in place and final legal details being completed for a contract through June 2029. The contract is reported to have club approval, making a transfer to Manchester United unlikely. Manchester United faces midfield issues and is being encouraged to pursue alternative targets. Potential alternatives mentioned include young talents such as Yehor Yarmoliuk and Adam Wharton as realistic transfer options.
