Bayern Munich, Man Utd offered fresh De Jong encouragement by Barcelona

Barcelona will consider selling Frenkie de Jong this summer.

With the need for sales to ease Financial Fair Play pressure and fringe players refusing to leave, the departure of De Jong has not been ruled out.

The midfielder remains a target for Manchester United, while Bayern Munich have also expressed tentative interest in recent days.

Local journalist Achraf Ben Yad is reporting Barca are prepared to sacrifice De Jong if the situation doesn't change.

Ferrán Torres and Ansu Fati have been put up for sale, but both players are refusing to leave.

Barca would seek to raise €80m should the sale of De Jong be needed.
