Man City pondering new bid for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong

Manchester City are planning a move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.

City are eager to find a new midfielder after pulling out of a deal for West Ham captain Declan Rice.

The Sun says interest in De Jong is being revived, though Barca's initial £90m asking price is steep.

De Jong met with City manager Pep Guardiola when choosing to leave Ajax three years ago before deciding to join Barca.

Barca are willing to sell the midfielder this summer due to Financial Fair Play pressure.
