Chelsea are reportedly pushing to hijack Manchester United’s move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
According to reports from Spain, the Blues will attempt to send two players to Barca in part-exchange. Chelsea could offer the Spanish defenders Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Meanwhile, Manchester United have long been negotiating for their primary target, agreeing to a £71 million fee with the Blaugrana. However, the Dutch player’s reluctance to leave Barca is holding up the move.
De Jong favours a move to Chelsea over Man. United because it would allow him to live in London and play Champions League football.
