Frenkie de Jong “wants to stay” at Barcelona despite interest from Manchester United, says the club’s president Joan Laporta.
The Premier League side agreed a £63.5m deal for the Netherlands midfielder, 25, last month, but the move is yet to be finalised.
De Jong came on at half-time and scored in Barcelona’s 6-0 friendly win over Pumas UNAM on Sunday.
“He has offers but we want him to stay and he wants to stay too,” he said.De Jong has been linked with a move to Chelsea, but is also a key target for new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
