Barcelona star linked with moves to the EPL, Chelsea considered an option

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has named Chelsea as one of the options for Frenkie de Jong if he decides to leave Spanish club Barcelona.

Romano revealed the Blues wanted the midfielder last summer but, despite interest from them and Manchester United, he ended up staying at Camp Nou.

Ahead of 2023, De Jong has once again been linked with moves away from the Catalans and the BBC reported Man Utd as his destination.

Man Utd had been closed to signing the midfielder last summer but the deal fell through midway.

However, should De Jong decides he wants to leave Barcelona in the future, Romano says he cannot rule out Chelsea being a potential destination for the Dutchman.

Speaking to GMS, the journalist said: “Let’s remember, last summer, Chelsea also wanted him – not just Manchester United. So I would always keep an eye on Chelsea for Frenkie de Jong in case he changes his mind one day.”
