​Barcelona focused on selling De Jong to Man Utd after securing Raphinha deal

Leeds United winger Raphinha is set to join Barcelona for £65 million this summer.

The right-sided attacker has long been linked with a move away from Leeds.

Chelsea were thought to have won the race for his signature, but the player wants Barca, and the move is close to complete.

According to The Mirror, the two clubs have agreed on a deal, and Barca will now turn their attention to selling players.

The Catalan giants want to sell midfielder Frenkie de Jong to Manchester United for an initial fee of £56 million, per the source.

De Jong does not necessarily want to leave, but is said to be happy to reunite with Erik ten Hag at United.
