Barcelona willing to sell Man Utd target De Jong

Barcelona are willing to listen to Manchester United offers for Frenkie de Jong.

De Jong is rated a 'priority target' for Manchester United.

Catalunya Radio says incoming United boss Erik ten Hag is keen to reunited with his former Ajax lynchpin De Jong.

The outlet even says Barca will be content to let the Red Devils have the 24-year-old - if they bid 70million Euros (about £59m).

But Xavi is quoted in the wider Spanish media as saying: "Frenkie [de Jong] is very important for me, for the club and for the team.

"He is a footballer who has to mark an era with his quality and personality."
