According to the latest authoritative revelation by renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on his personal podcast, the rumored transfer between Francky de Jong and English Premier League giants Manchester United FC has been confirmed as unfounded speculation. Romano made it clear that to date, neither Manchester United nor Barcelona, nor De Jong himself and his team, have had any form of contact or in-depth discussions regarding the rumored transfer.
Previously, some media outlets had reported that after successfully signing strong players such as De Ligt and Mazrahi, United did not stop its pace of reinforcement but set its sights on Barcelona's central midfielder Francky de Jong and hinted that Barcelona might consider accepting an offer of more than 60 million euros in order to let the Dutch international go. However, Romano's comments have completely shattered this market rumor and brought clear facts to the fans and media.
One of the most promising young midfielders in football today, Frankie de Jong is contracted to Barcelona until 2026 and is currently valued at €70 million. Last season, he made 30 appearances for Barcelona in various tournaments, and all to debut as a debut, showing a very high level of competition and stability, although in the offensive end of the contribution of only 2 goals, but its organization in the midfield scheduling and defensive interception role is crucial to the team.
With Romano's disavowal of the rumors, the dust has finally settled on the transfer rumors surrounding the relationship between Frankie de Jong and Manchester United. While this is certainly disappointing news for fans, it also serves as a reminder that we should remain rational and objective when dealing with the complicated rumors in the transfer market and wait for official news to be confirmed.
