According to a report by Catalan outlet El Nacional, Frenkie de Jong is highly wanted by Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
And in a bid to beat Bayern to the race, the report revealed that the Blues have made their first move for the Catalans midfielder by submitting an offer worth €40 million.
It is uncertain why Chelsea want to sign Frenkie as they already have key players like N’Golo Kante, Jorginho and Matteo Kovacic in the midfield.
It is uncertain Barcelona will accept the €40 million from Chelsea as they are demanding €60 million to sell him.
A report, however, claimed that the Spanish club could consider €50 million from the West London club.
It would be best for Chelsea to reconsider their pay else Bayern Munich could beat them to the race for the midfielder.
