Barcelona pair De Jong and Memphis in London today

Barcelona pair Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay are in London today.

De Jong is a target for Chelsea and Manchester United, while Depay is also being linked with a return to Old Trafford.

However, Sport says the prime purpose for the Dutch pair to be in England is to attend the wedding of Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek.

De Jong played with Van de Beek at Ajax, while he is Holland teammates with Memphis.

Meanwhile, Barca are continuing to push De Jong to accept a new pay-cut as they seek to add to their squad. The Catalans need the midfielder to take a wage reduction to make room in their wage cap.
