CHELSEA are hovering as Manchester United swea on Frenkie de Jong agreeing personal terms over £60million move. That's the claim from the Guardian, who say the Blues have one major advantage as the Barcelona midfielder wants Champions League football.
New Old Trafford boss Erik ten Hag hopes to reunite with De Jong , as well as his old Ajax stars Lisandro Martinez, Antony and Jurrien Timber. And United make a huge breakthrough last week when they finally persuaded Holland hero De Jong to consider leaving the Nou Camp.
The Red Devils negotiated a fee close to £60m as Barca aim to ease their financial problems by cashing in on a major asset. But it's understood Chelsea are now taking a stron interest in De Jong's talks with Old Trafford chiefs over personal demands.
And if the United deal hits a stumbling block, it's claimed the Blues are prepared to pounce. So far Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been focusing on other positions.
Manchester City's England attacker Raheem Sterlin is nearing a £45million switch to Stamford Bridge. And Burnley's Maxwell Cornet is a new option if the Blues miss out on Leeds' Brazil winger Raphinha.
Juventus centre-back Matthijs de Ligt heads the lis of potential replacements for Real Madrid new boy Antonio Rudiger.
But De Jong would top the lot as a statement signing for new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, The Blues' dream midfield signing, Declan Rice , stil appears out of reach this summer.
