Manchester City Set to Sign Barcelona Midfielder in La Liga Transfer

Manchester City have reportedly set their sights on signing Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong in the transfer window, according to reports from Spanish media outlet AS.

De Jong has been one of the most in-demand players in Europe over the past few seasons, with Manchester United and Liverpool among the clubs interested in his services. However, it seems that City will be the team to beat as they look to strengthen their midfield options ahead of next season.

The 24-year-old Dutchman has made 167 appearances for Barca since joining from Ajax in 2019, scoring 18 goals and providing 51 assists. He is known for his versatility and ability to play in various positions across the midfield, making him a valuable asset to any team.

If City were to sign De Jong, they would likely bolster their already impressive midfield depth. They currently boast several talented players including Rodri, Fernandinho, and Ilkay Gundogan, but adding another quality midfielder could give them a significant boost in terms of creativity and technical skill.

It remains to be seen whether or not City can secure a deal for De Jong, but given their reputation for being able to negotiate deals worth billions of pounds, it's possible that they will be able to land the talented Dutchman this summer. Whether he ends up at Manchester City or elsewhere, one thing is certain - De Jong will be a highly sought-after player in the coming months.
