Barcelona Star Makes Decision on Joining Man United This Summer

• Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong is Manchester United's priority target for the summer transfer window
• Xavi's Barca re understood to be willing to offload the midfielder for a fee in the region of €100million
• However, De Jong reportedly has no plans to join the Red Devils this summer as he is determined to continue at Camp Nou for another season

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong has reportedly informed Manchester United that he has no intention of joining them this summer.

De Jong is understood to be United's top transfer target, with the club keen to reinforce their squad in preparation for next season.

According to Metro UK, Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag views the 25-year-old as a key part of his rebuilding plans at Old Trafford.

The publication adds that Barcelona had hoped to secure a fee closer to €100m (£86.4m) for De Jong as they need the money to finance their own transfer business.

Frenkie de Jong sends message to Man United over summer move

However, De Jong could scupper United's transfer plans for him, with Sport claiming that the Dutchman has informed both the Red Devils and Barca that he has no intention of leaving Camp Nou this summer.

It is believed that the former Ajax star is unhappy with Barcelona pushing for his transfer to Old Trafford.

Reports suggest the 25-year-old is determined to stay at the Catalan club at least for another season.

The development comes just weeks after the Netherlands international made clear his desire to continue at Barcelona.

"I prefer to stay with Barcelona. Barcelona is just my dream club," De Jong told ESPN in May.

"Also from a young age. I just said it too. I’ve never regretted my choice despite the fact that I had hoped for more in terms of prizes," he added.
