Chelsea 'make an opening bid of £33m for Frenkie de Jong' with Barcelona open to selling the struggling Dutchman... but the Blues may have to up their offer to over £40m with Bayern Munich also keen

Chelsea 'have made an opening offer of £33million' for Barcelona misfit Frenkie de Jong but they are set to face competition from Bayern Munich.

Holland midfielder De Jong has been a major disappointment since he arrived at the Nou Camp from Ajax in 2019.

Though the 24-year-old is a regular starter for Barcelona, he has struggled to perform at the standard expected of a £65m signing.

Barcelona are prepared to cut their losses and a number of leading European club are interested in De Jong.

El Nacional report that Chelsea have made an opening bid but it falls short of Barcelona's £50m valuation.

However, they add that Barcelona may accept a lower price of £42m so a small increase from Chelsea may be enough to secure De Jong

They report that the emergence of youngsters Gavi, 17, and Nico Gonzalez, 20, have strengthened manager Xavi's options in midfield and De Jong may soon be surplus to requirements.

The Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann is known to be an admirer of De Jong and has reportedly asked the club to look into whether a deal can be concluded.

Manchester City have also been linked with the Dutchman, who has scored 10 goals and contributed 14 assists in 117 outings for Barcelona.

Bad market for Barcelona.

Buying players you don't need.. what's the use of lukaku in tuchel's formation?

And they feel say Barca doesn't know the value of De jong? Only 33 million for a player of that Quality? Chelsea de dream. Anyway, it's just a news house speculation

The guy good for real life.. among the Best 3 in Barcelona.. forget all these Newshouse writing rubbish that he is struggling. He is the reason Barca midfield still manage to retain the ball.. him and Pedri

Desperate times, and even more desperate moves by Chelsea...

Una never wan get sense!!!

Saul is not a Chelsea player. He's owned by Atletico

Lukaku complained about this lucky coach approach to games. But he was insulted by the fans. It was clear in the match today. Lukaku controls the ball with and no Chelsea player close for him to pas the ball and make a move. They are always far away defending. How can campions of Europe be scared of a team they claim they are better than.
Well there was improvement in today’s game ( one attempt on goal unlike the one in their home, zero attempt on target �������������

This is good.

A replacement for Jorginho.

Next, sell Lukaku back to Inter & pursue Erling Haaland
