Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims the club have made a ‘Whopping’ offer to FC Barcelona for their midfield mainstay Frenkie de Jong.
The 24-year-old midfielder has established himself as first-team regular since his arrival in 2019 from Ajax, making a total of 106 appearances in all competitions, amassing nine goals and 14 assists along the way.
However, the Netherlands international is currently part of an under-performing side at a time when further sales will need to be made in the upcoming transfer windows.
With recent reports claiming that Barcelona are considering the possibility of selling Frenkie de Jong, it has sparked Premier League champions Manchester City in action.
According to Fichajes, City are now prepared to take advantage of the situation by moving in on de Jong, and have already made their move to secure the signing of the Netherlands international.
However, considering that the Netherlands international is contracted with Barcelona till the summer of 2026, any move would require both interested parties to shell out a massive sum to prize him away from Camp Nou.
As per the report, Guardiola’s side have made an offer of €90 million to Barcelona in order to lure de Jong away from Camp Nou. Only time will tell if they do decide to accept City’s offer for their midfield mainstay.
The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra City Chief, and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters, who took to the social media platform to share their thoughts and opinions.
This is a transfer I would really, really like to happen. Frenkie de Jong (in Peps words) is so so so good.

I think our fans are forgetting that Frenkie is also a Dinho replacement

Haaland first but a swap deal of Sterling + €30M for De Jong would be ridiculously good

Sterling swap deal plus + 25-30mill for de Jong and it’s a deal

First Danilo for Cancelo, then Otamendi for Dias and now Sterling for FDJ? Our swap deals are incredible
